What is mark zuckerberg's political?

Answer 1

Zuckerberg claims to have no political leaning, however he has held several events with well know Republicans. Republican Senate Minority Whip Kevin McCarthy recently tweeted a picture of himself with Zuck. He has been seen politically cavorting with Eric Cantor at the FB facilities in Silicon Valley; he recently held a fund raising event for the Republican governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie. It was recently announced that his PAC, FWD.us, is funding issues dear to Republican hearts like the XL pipeline and drilling in Alaska and it is being claimed that a political ad from a progressive group was recently rejected by FB. The ad featured Zuck, asking him to stop funding that supports the XL pipeline.

Politically at this time, it's not clear what Zuck's federal game plan is, but we can extrapolate from his strategies in CA where he successfully promoted causes to loosen restrictions on using personal information gathered through FB through various means at the state level.

There is current controversy involving the latest controversial "like" button tracking capabilities which appear to be extensive and how that information will be sold and used and there is some expectation that this could be addressed in electronic privacy legislation in the near future, which Zuck will surely want his thumb in that pie. It benefits him to donate to the causes that will garner him the votes he wants in Congress when the time comes that legislation that could affect his advertising schemes viability and fiscal success. Right now, that is clearly on the right side of the aisle with the "less is better" regulation crowd.
