The Social Network Ethics

The film revolved around material possession, ethics,


lawsuits and relationships. It sure looks like a difficult
film to provide but I’m glad to mention I enjoyed myself
throughout and will even arrange to watch it again, with
great care i would learn something I hadn’t observed the
primary time round.

The founders of Facebook probably don't agree fully


to the present film. we should always understand for
dramatic effect, parts of the movie would are
exaggerated and possibly twisted. This film was an
adaption from ‘The Accidental Billionaires’ by Ben
Mezrich which i've got not laid my hands on – but having
read ‘The Facebook Effect’ by David Kirkpatrick, it
seems like I could already predict the plot.

Aside from a powerful impulse to be told programming


after watching the film, here are some insights I gained:
Business Ideas Aren’t Protected
According to Tim Berry: laws protect inventions with
patents, creative works with copyright, and trade names
with trademarks but none protects business ideas. It is
hard to prove the thought had originated from the
Winklevoss twins (or ‘Winklevi’!). I’m guessing it would
probably are a definite case if the twins had been
programmers themselves. the utmost amount as their
ideas were awesome, they weren't capable of executing
it themselves. Although I do not agree with Zuckerberg’s
act of keeping twins within the dark as he wasn't keen
and already embarking on his own project – I’m guessing
within the world, it's only a business move to buy for
time to induce prior competitors although there is much
debate about this and it appears unethical.
Think Long-Term
Saverin began by pursuing advertisers aggressively in an
attempt to monetize Facebook. However, Zuckerberg
stood steadfast in his determination that Facebook would
not profit from advertisements. Because there were no
advertisements on Facebook, it was cool; Zuckerberg
had intended that earning money would not be his goal in
the early phases of the company, but rather building a
fantastic product. Along with Google, I believe Facebook
has significantly re-invented web advertising. Social media
has opened infinite possibilities for companies and even
the non-profit sector by allowing marketers to target
their audience using data given by users themselves (such
as demographics, hobbies, and activities).

Have Signed Agreements
In the film, Saverin gave the impression to are
Zuckerberg’s only friend but was unappreciated and
badly treated. The scene where Saverin revealed
everybody else’s shares had been unaffected except his;
which was reduced to 0.03% from 34.4% (note that this
number was heavily exaggerated) was a heartbreaking
one… although within the end, they settled the case with
an undisclosed amount to the general public and Saverin
was again listed as a co-founder on the positioning. The
lack of delegacy had been the basis of most problems
hence they're important – just in case relationships turn
sour.
