Infuriating Irony

Its a long article, but this bit stuck out to me as cruelly (to us) ironic:

https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-lost-notebook/

Quote:
The notebooks have now mostly disappeared, destroyed by Zuckerberg himself. He says he did it for privacy reasons. This is in keeping with sentiments he expressed to me about the pain of having many of his early IMs and emails exposed in the aftermath of legal proceedings. “Would you want every joke that you made to someone being printed and taken out of context later?” he asks, adding that the exposure of his juvenile jottings is a factor in his current push to build encryption and ephemerality into Facebook's products.
How many people have been fired, how many lives ruined because someone dug up something from years ago on Facebook? It seems that Zuckerberg is keenly aware of this, and works hard....to protect himself from the destruction that his platform enables.
