On Sunday October 9, 2016 at 4:30:42pm in Palo Alto, CA, Mark Zuckerberg went live: “Hey everyone. We are live from my backyard, where I am smoking a brisket and some ribs, and getting ready for the presidential debate tonight.”
Four weeks later, his company would be blamed for the results of that election, beginning a “techlash” against formerly popular technology platforms, companies, and their CEOs.
Sometime around 2022, the video disappeared from @zuck’s public Facebook archive.
Exactly 10 years later, we will rewatch a restored version of Mark and friends, live grilling in Mark’s backyard, and discuss 10 years of change on the internet.
The Symposium and screening will be held on Zoom.
Link will be provided here on the day of the event.
Doors open.
