Zuckerberg seems prepped to run for president. He dismisses it now, but so did Hillary for the longest time.
I don’t really like the road we’re taking, certainly privacy issues will not improve under a Zuckerberg administration (and they certainly aren’t in a Trump one), Zuckerberg’s actions with Facebook have helped exacerbate the problem. But I think I’d still take him over Hillary, and especially Trump, neither of which promised any improvement in my area of concern.
Speculation that Mr Zuckerberg might run for president was fuelled when he made political comments and announced a tour of US states. The 32-year-old would be old enough to stand for president in 2020.
In April 2016, Fortune reported that Facebook had agreed changes to its company structure that would allow Mr Zuckerberg to stand in an election. He has also softened his approach to religion, describing it as “very important”, in a Christmas post. Mr Zuckerberg had previously described himself as an atheist, which might have limited his appeal with some US citizens.
In January, he announced a “personal challenge” to visit and speak to people in every US state, including 30 he had not visited before. Presidential candidates typically tour US states to drum up support.
