Mark Zuckerberg is the co-founder of social media giant Facebook and its parent company Meta Platforms. Zuckerberg is the chairman, CEO, and controlling shareholder of Meta Platforms. Zuckerberg attended Harvard University, where he launched Facebook in 2004 from his dormitory with several other roommates. In 2007, he became the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at age 23. Zuckerberg took Facebook public in May 2012 with majority shares. The Meta boss has often been featured on Time magazine’s list of 100 most influential people in the world. Zuckerberg’s Facebook journey has also been portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg in Hollywood Blockbuster ‘The Social Network’. In more recent times, Zuckerberg and Facebook has gotten mixed up in a myriad of lawsuits. EU regulators have also come down hard on the social media platform for the way it deals with citizens’ user data. While Zuckerberg is also known for his various philanthropic ventures, reports have accused the Meta CEO and other billionaires in the US of legally paying almost nothing in federal taxes. Zuckerberg also launched Internet.org, an initiative to provide Internet access to billions of people. However, the project faced massive opposition by Indian activists who criticised the project noting that it ran counter to the principle of net neutrality. Zuckerberg has also appeared in the US Congress multiple times, particularly in the Cambridge Analytica debacle, which saw a British consulting firm collect the personal data of millions of Facebook users without their consent.
