(London Guardian) Ever since he announced a jaw-dropping $100m donation to the Newark public school system, Mark Zuckerberg’s generous philanthropy has served as one of his key defenses against criticism of himself and his company.
But as Zuckerberg’s reputation has been bludgeoned by a seemingly never-ending string of scandals, some recipients of the billionaire’s largesse are beginning to raise concerns about what it means to be funded by Facebook.
On Tuesday, the San Francisco supervisor Aaron Peskin announced at a board of supervisors meeting that he has asked the city attorney to begin drafting legislation to remove Zuckerberg’s name from what is now called the Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center.
