Mark Zuckerberg actually published a 6,000 word manifesto about this a few days ago.
In the manifesto, Mark Zuckerberg essentially talks about his political and social goals and how Facebook as a product is going to work towards them.
If you don’t want to read the whole thing, Greg Sterling of Marketing Land wrote a summary and review here.
