尽管脸书还处于动荡之中,但马克·扎克伯格坚称,自己仍然是领导公司的最佳人选。
Despite the turmoil that continues to surround his company, Mark Zuckerberg has insisted he is still the best person to lead Facebook.
他在上周三表示:“当你在打造像脸书这种史无前例的事物时,有些事情是你会搞砸的。”
"When you're building something like Facebook which is unprecedented in the world," he said last Wednesday, "there are things that you're going to mess up.
“我认为人们应该要求我们负责的是,我们要从自己的错误中吸取教训。”
"What I think people should hold us accountable for is if we are learning from our mistakes."
除了担任脸书首席执行官之外,扎克伯格还是公司的董事会主席。当被问及公司是否有讨论他的职位变动时,他回答说:“据我所知没有!”
As well as being Facebook's chief executive, Mr Zuckerberg is chairman of the company's board. When asked if his position had been discussed, he replied: "Not that I know of!"
他的领导地位出现问题的可能性是几个月前几乎没人预测到的。
The mere possibility that his leadership is in question is a scenario few would have predicted even a month ago.
但近期,关于第三方不当收集数据的报道--以及假新闻和舆论宣传--使得外界开始质疑扎克伯格领导一家公司的能力,有些人认为这家公司已经超出了他的控制范围。
But recent reports around improper data gathering by third parties - as well as fake news and propaganda - have prompted some to question Mr Zuckerberg's ability to lead a company that some think has grown beyond his control.
纽约市养老基金负责人斯科特·斯特林格表示,扎克伯格应该离职。斯特林格主管的基金持有的脸书股票价值约10亿美元。
Scott Stringer, head of New York City's pension fund, said that Mr Zuckerberg should step aside. The fund owns approximately $1bn-worth of the social network.
斯特林格向CNBC透露:“脸书拥有20亿用户,但他们的表现没能为用户提供满意的服务,也没能让用户感到自己的数据是安全的。”
"They have two billion users," Mr Stringer told CNBC. "They have not comported themselves in a way that makes people feel good about Facebook and secure about their own data."
科技杂志《Wired》的一篇文章则呼吁扎克伯格下台,以便让脸书开启“提高声誉的第二篇章”。
A piece in technology magazine Wired called for Mr Zuckerberg to step downin order to let Facebook start a "reputation-enhancing second chapter".
