I think (especially with regard to Cambridge Analytica, where even if you disregard the political thrust of the narrative, it shows Facebook is careless with data; the general principle of privilege escalation where some subset of accounts unlock all the other ones) it's one thing to dismiss the hatred of Zuckerberg as a left wing vs right wing thing (except that the newsfeed is a filter bubble, it's not organically showing you friends' posts) when the reality might be more sinister, that he'll bow to anybody
Exhibit A: A general history of theft and backstabbing (which continues to today - see: Snapchat)
Exhibit B: "If you need info on anyone at Harvard just ask, they 'trust me', dumb fucks"
It's about treating EVERYONE across the political spectrum like subhuman garbage, being infinitely adaptable to whoever's in power at the time
(I say this as someone who thinks Google does far too much censorship, that the Twitter Files were a real and serious thing and that coercion during covid was real)
