As much as I value privacy and I hate Facebook, I think your message contains 
critical fallacies on so many levels...

First, I'm not sure Mark Zuckerberg is a sociopath — and certainly I don't have 
any evidence to claim so.

Second, couldn't it be possible that the group simply was not reported (small 
group) and therefore not noticed until the transmission ended? We are just 
making assumptions here.

Third, are you suggesting Facebook should be permanently blocked?
