Can we trust Facebook? In 2004 founder Mark Zuckerberg used TheFacebook to steal passwords
Ben Edelman: "No one expects a web site to retain a mistyped password, and certainly no one expects a site admin to use that password to access a user's account on another site." Yet Zuckerberg was recording such mistypes from the very beginning of "TheFacebook" and he followed through by using them. Zuckerberg apparently will abuse whatever power and access he has, however it suits his purposes, if he thinks he can get away with it.
