How Facebook Started
Clearly understanding the importance of coding, Mark Zuckerberg’s father Edward taught him Atari BASIC computer programming which he became very adept at. As he grew into a young man and had turned down two of the biggest tech companies in the world, Zuckerberg headed off to Harvard in 2002.
One year later Zuckerberg attracted his first big controversy in October 2003 when he created and published Facemash, a website that let Harvard students judge the attractiveness of each other to create rankings (similar to the Hot or Not site that launched in 2000). As he didn’t actually get permission to use student photos, unsurprisingly many were not happy with his work.
However within a few hours, the site had seen 22000 photo views from 450 visitors, but within a few days it was shut down and Zuckerberg was hauled in front of the Harvard Administration Board for breaching individual privacy. With the risk of expulsion on the table, the board finally decided to let him stay. After a public apology, he moved on from his first brush with authority and set his sights on his next project.
