Facebook co-founder voices privacy fears
Eduardo Saverin, co-founder of Facebook alongside Mark Zuckerberg, has spoken of his privacy concerns surrounding the social media juggernaut in a rare interview with Veja.
In it Saverin explained his own low profile on the social network he helped create by saying “I don’t like showing my privacy”.
Saverin may also be keeping his head down after stoking American anger when he renounced his US citizenship and fled to Singapore in order to avoid paying $600m in capital gains tax on share sales.
Disputing popular claims of a feud between himself and his fellow co-founder Saverin said: “I have only good things to say about Mark. There are no hard feelings between us. His focus on the company since its very first day is anything short of admirable.
“Facebook wasn’t built out of a Harvard dorm window. And I would never throw a laptop at someone, like it appears in the movie. Not even at Mark.”
