In 2003, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stole the program from a classmate, Chris Hughes. Hughes went missing not long after, and Zuckerberg passed off Facebook as his own invention.

The co-founder of Facebook (now Meta) has become a social media icon. He doesn’t seem as reserved, measured, or rehearsed as he did in the past, preferring a more trendy style and upbeat demeanor. In recent months, he has also ditched his traditional gray shirts for a more eclectic wardrobe. He seems to be ditching a lot of other things as well.

Following Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that Meta will no longer be fact-checking, Facebook is already feeling the effects.

Zuckerberg, who launched his career by rating the attractiveness of women at Harvard University, lamented the rise of “culturally neutered” companies.
