‘The Problem Is Him’ Kara Swisher on Mark Zuckerberg’s crisis and ours. “He’s not an asshole, and he’s never been an asshole. That’s not the problem here. It’s easy when they’re assholes. When it’s a Travis Kalanick? Simple, just flush the guy down the toilet. When it’s Mark, it’s harder. He’s an important technologist.
