There have been misperceptions that we're trying to make all the information open on Facebook, and that's completely false. There are big buckets of information that we recommend that you share with only your friends privately. Then some of the more basic information, we recommend that that's visible to everyone.

I think Facebook is an online directory for colleges... If I want to get information about you, I just go to Facebook, type in your name, and it hopefully pulls up all the information I'd care to know about you.

The question isn't, 'What do we want to know about people?', It's, 'What do people want to tell about themselves?'

It's not because of the amount of money. For me and my colleagues, the most important thing is that we create an open information flow for people. Having media corporations owned by conglomerates is just not an attractive idea to me.

I think there's confusion around what the point of social networks is. A lot of different companies characterized as social networks have different goals - some serve the function of business networking, some are media portals. What we're trying to do is just make it really efficient for people to communicate, get information and share information.

It's just crazy that they basically pushed us and said, you know, anything that says vaccines might have side effects, you basically need to take down. And I was just like, we're not gonna do that.
