Obituary for the late Mark Zuckerberg who turned a Harvard campus creeper app, scraping and rating female students' photos, into a global Public Information Utility, who left this life firmly committed to the right of every member of the Public to enjoy their own truth; and to evade their rights established under the Common Carrier clause of the US Code which was enacted to protect citizens from parasitic utilities like those operated by Meta Corp.
