Social Network Review

   The film The Social Network, is the story of Mark   

Zuckerberg, the creator of facebook. The film follows him from his days at Harvard to his two court reseedings. Mark Zuckerberg

 was a student desperate to create the next big thing. Since he was living in the beginning of the new Millennium, he decide this should be on the internet. While on the school’s web site, Zuckerberg

 finds a page with pictures of students. He then decides to create Facemashm, a website  with the pictures of every girl in school. After talking to some classmates,  he   obtains an algorithm to start his first website. This webpage is the beginning of both Zuckerberg

’s success and  troubles.

    While working on his new project, Zuckerberg

 writes an angry blog post slandering his girlfriend. He gives her a low rating on his scale based on who was most  attractive, and continues to post degrading comments about her. This spreads around school quickly and does   a significant amount of damage for Both Mark and the girl involved.

     After officials at Harvard found out about face mash, mark was put on academic probation for hacking in to various WebPages of the school. Another ethical conflict is that the picture of almost every female student was posted without any of their knowledge. This was the easier  one of Zuckerberg

’s Trials.

    The second Trial involves  Eduardo Saverin,

 Cameron Winklevoss   and his twin. The  Winklevoss   Accused  Zuckerberg of intellectual property Theft.,   Zuckerberg had discussed the idea for a website where people can connect with their friends with the brothers. The Winklevoss   brother had also given  Zuckerberg the algorithm he needed in order to start the website. Some one else involved in this conflict is Shawn Parker.

      Is introduced to Parker, who is the creator of Nester. Parker  tells Zuckerberg about how he changed the world with Nabster. Parker describes to Zuckerberg how Nabster  got him in trouble with almost every major recording artist. Parker advised Zuckerberg to take the  out of “the facebook” “just facebook, drop the the, it’s cleaner”

    The film does not have a clear outcome of the trial but the audience is left with the impression of how powerful technology is. First Zuckerberg damaged the reputation of his girlfriend with his blog post. Second he was put on academic  for hacking and violating the privacy of other students. Then he was in a long legal dispute over intellectual property. The social  really portrays how technology is always changing and how it can be exciting for the public, but also how it can be harmful on a personal level. network probation
