Mark Zuckerberg, who co-founded and launched Facebook \u2013 and now leads the technology conglomerate Meta \u2013 has played a key role in what he describes as an erosion of privacy.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"person__name\">&#8220;People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information \u2013 and different kinds \u2013 but more openly with more people. And that social norm is just something that&#8217;s evolved over time.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mark Zuckerberg, January 2010<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-260aae63-e6d2-483d-9faf-351124dea924\">We were just months away from Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s first on-screen portrayal in The Social Network when he spoke about the story of Facebook so far at TechCrunch&#8217;s Crunchies awards in January 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Quote of the day<\/p>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\">This article is part of TechRadar Pro&#8217;s QOTD project to provide an insight into the minds of the brightest and most recognized figures in the technology industry today and in years gone by. Read the full series here.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-41dfff5b-9bba-45cd-b692-7374df937939-0\">During the interview, he spoke about the way that people&#8217;s attitudes toward their own sense of privacy had shifted, and that with the tools available on the web \u2013 including his own platform \u2013 users were far more open and willing to share details about themselves.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/media\/img\/techradar_logo_v2.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"max-h-12 w-auto\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>He delivered these thoughts following criticism that Facebook had altered its architecture so that basic information, like your friends list, became publicly viewable by default \u2013 unless you consciously opted out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-death-of-privacy-3\">The death of privacy<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-4852bc85-05b2-4178-b320-9220e4c5dd85\">Zuckerberg, at the time, was attempting to reframe his platform&#8217;s changes as ones that served users as it adapted to their behavior. But it&#8217;s also fair to suggest that Facebook had also played a role in triggering behavioral shifts in its users in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cynics would also suggest that the shift to opening up more data to public access paved the way for further monetization of user data.
