He maintains that he simply loves writing computer code and making technological tools that help people learn, share, and connect more with each other. However, not everyone agrees that Zuckerberg simply wants to build bridges between people. Former colleagues accused him of stealing the idea for Facebook from their social network. Privacy advocates questioned Zuckerberg''s motives when Facebook began tracking users'' web-surfing habits, sharing that information with advertisers.
