One might think Facebook did their due diligence and said, "DANG, you got all these users with this big of a hole just laying right out there? Here, have some money."
Haha! But seriously given the leaked chat messages from when Zuckerberg was still not the polished CEO and less mature [1], your argument seems plausible.

This is actually the first time that I'm posting this, but yeah I don't fault Zuckerberg. That was one of the reasons that I added that he was perhaps less mature then. Thought processes & some beliefs change over time and I'm not saying he is the same person now that he was then.
