Until you listen to the Behind the Bastards on him and realize FB started out as a women hotness rating system local to his college. There was no benign origin here.

That doesn’t sound quite right to me. Wasn’t FaceMash the thing for rating girls from campus. The Facebook was born from the idea of the Winklevoss twins who asked him to write the code.

They settled a lawsuit for a lot of money, at the time.
