"Bloody Facebook- and to think I'd enjoyed The Social Network. Clearly Mark Zuckerberg was the devil"
About this Quote
“Bloody Facebook” is blunt, almost quaintly British profanity, the language of annoyance rather than outrage. It’s not “harm” or “democracy” or “privacy”; it’s friction. That matters. The subtext is that Facebook’s cultural dominance isn’t maintained by love, but by habit, irritation, and resignation. You don’t stay because it’s good; you stay because leaving is a hassle.
The Social Network reference is a neat bit of meta-commentary: enjoying a film that mythologizes (and villain-casts) your origin story, then turning around and calling “Mark Zuckerberg” the devil. It’s an acknowledgment that the public narrative has escaped the subject. “Zuckerberg” becomes a character, a symbol for tech arrogance and social damage, separate from the human being. The devil line is intentionally overwrought, which is why it lands: it mirrors the internet’s tendency to moralize product design into cosmic evil.
Contextually, it’s post-2010 internet culture in miniature: platforms as everyday infrastructure, founders as cartoon antagonists, and criticism delivered through jokes because jokes travel faster than policy.
