NEW YORK – Condemnation of nationalism and xenophobia, invokes an understanding for each other and solidarity. Attacks explicitly Donald Trump. It is Pope Francis, is that Mark Zuckerberg from San Francisco launches his political manifesto. The 31 year old founder and chief executive of Facebook has shown a ten-year plan for the strategic development of social media, which is also an epitome of the philosophy and values of his company. A social network from 1.6 billion users, that Zuckerberg “is tight”: his ambition is to connect to the Internet all 7 billion people on the planet. From this derives also a political and moral vision: “We are a unique global community, in receiving refugees who try to escape from a war, or immigrants in search of opportunities; When we gather to fight an epidemic or climate change. ” He polemic against “the current trend of many nations to withdraw into themselves.” He accused “the voices of fear that invite you to build walls and to distance themselves from the people described as different from us.” Zuckerberg spoke in San Francisco as part of the annual F8 conference which brings together all developers writing new software programs for the Facebook app. To listen to him there was a crowd of 2,600 internal staff or external, come from the whole world. At the center of his message Zuckerberg has put a slogan: “Giving everyone the power to share with everyone else.” Word key, to share , indicates the “sharing” of messages, photos, experiences and comments that each one does with friends on their Facebook pages. But it also alludes to another type of sharing, dissemination of opportunities, distribution of wealth. Zuckerberg is so appropriated an ancient tradition, at least for the historical times of the young Silicon Valley and the entire US West Coast: a place where entrepreneurs often have ridden progressive visions, social utopias, the dream of remaking the world. From Bill Gates to Steve Jobs, Larry Page to Elon Musk, a lot of technological innovation pioneers have also proposed an ideological belief libertarian, environmentalist, inclusive, multi-ethnic. The economic model of Silicon Valley to the test facts remains a multiplier of inequalities, but this does not prevent its leading to churn out new utopias. Zuckerberg is a candidate in this case to steal the role to Google, which in the early days was known for the motto “Do not be evil”, not to be mean or do no harm. “It takes courage today – said Zuckerberg – to choose hope instead of fear. If you do, someone will define naive but every step forward in the advancement was enabled by this hope and optimism.” A ride in style “obama”, although the relationship between Facebook founder and the president have experienced ups and downs. In the current election campaign Zuckerberg is active through bipartisan organization, Fwd.Us (from the abbreviation of forward that is “forward”) that supported individual thematic campaigns: for example the battle for immigration reform, aligned with the positions of the Democrats; Instead he called for the Keystone XL pipeline, fought by environmentalists and rejected by Obama. At the F8 conference was not missing the part devoted to business: Zuckerberg launched a new communication channel, the “chat bots” , messengers that create a direct link between Facebook users and the companies that make you advertising.
