Unless I'm misreading something, it would be far more accurate to say: "Some FB employee jokes that Zuck doesn't believe in privacy"



"Bilton later responded to our request for clarification, saying, “My source said it was OK to quote them, just not say who they are.” So apparently, this Facebook employee wanted this information to get out, for whatever reason."

Doesn't sound like the employee was joking.


It's one anonymous source. You don't know if it's a janitor or a VP talking. The fact this "tweet" got picked up by Wired as newsworthy is just downright poor journalism by all involved. It's newspeople ([micro-]bloggers) making their own news.

Even if the source is named, somebody interpreting somebody else's opinions is hearsay at best and editorialization at worst. You either have the quote or you don't. What's next, "Steve Jobs believes in genocide" after somebody finds an Apple employee who thinks he does? Seriously get this junk off HN.
