Kind of goes beyond ironic.
Suckerberg was born May 14, 1984
May is International Workers’ month.
In Russia and other communist countries May Day, May first, is officially called “The Day of Spring and Labor.”
In 1918 May 1 was declared the day of International Solidarity with Workers
May 9th is Victory Day for Russia/Soviet Union over Nazi Germany and when Russia rolls out its might in military parades.
One more bit of irony. There are 32 CCTV cams within 200 meters of a house at 27B Canonbury Square in London where Orwell once lived. There is also a CCTV cam on the corner of Placa de George Orwell in Barcelona.
Last March Suckerberg gave a $4.2 million donation to the Hawaii Community Foundation calling it a “Rise to Work” program to help ease the ire of locals on Kauai where he built his mile long 6ft wall along his compound there blocking access to beaches. The International Workers Union must be proud.
In the novel 1984, Orwell describes an artificial intelligence tool he named the Versificator which produces party approved music and literature without human input. Wouldn’t be surprised if Suckerberg’s Facebook algorithms won’t soon be called Versificators.
