Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg answered questions about his social networking site in a rare public question-and-answer session held at the company's headquarters in Menlo Park, California.
On Thursday, the 30-year-old social media mogul gave the public opportunity to ask him questions and personally provide him with feedback on the social networking website that has become very popular worldwide that it made him billions.
During the hour-long session, Zuckerberg was able to boldly answer the public's queries about issues, including the fact that his company "forced" Facebook users to install the Facebook Messenger application on their phones as he acknowledged it being "a big ask" and a "required friction."
Aside from that, the young businessman was also able to give his reaction to the 2010 film "The Social Network," which supposedly portrayed how he founded this era's most popular website.
"I think the reality is that writing code and then building a product and building a company actually is not a glamorous enough thing to make a movie about, so you can imagine that a lot of this stuff they had to embellish or make up," he noted, adding that the plot had been "overarched."
He also expressed his disappointment and "hurt" at some of the things the movie's creators made up to embellish the story into something more interesting, particularly the part that he created Facebook after being rejected by a girl, where in fact, he had been with his wife even before he started the site.
Some questions during the session, no matter how trivial, were also answered, such as the reason behind his choice of imagery for himself, or basically why he wore the same gray T-shirt every day.
"I'm in this really lucky position where I get to wake up every day and help serve more than 1 billion people, and I feel like I'm not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things [like deciding what to wear]," Zuckerberg explained.
