On: There Is No Justification for What Mark Zuckerberg...

[jimmywanger]

As long as Facebook paid, their money was good, and there was a contract signed, it does not matter.

This is wrong. Who cares what somebody else thinks when you get billions of dollars? Not your problem anymore.

They should have really held Zuckerberg's feet to the fire and enforced the contract by suing. It seems like a slam dunk. (IANAL)

"enforced the contract by suing"

What did the contract say? The only contract I saw in the original story noted that if adds were forced on them some people could leave with more stock..... that wouldn't have prevented anything.

No, but they could have bled Facebook further with more stock, which is fairly freely convertible.

"You own the company. If you put ads on the product we sell, give us more money."

You don't have to prevent anything, you just have to make them think about things.
