Facebook's success stemmed from its emphasis on real identity and the ability for users to share their content, which was missing from other platforms at the time.

Platforms like Facebook initially thrived on real identities, fostering trust among users, which contributed to their growth.

In the early days of Facebook, we established a culture of real identity by requiring users to sign up with their school email addresses, which helped verify their credentials and fostered trust within the community.

Facebook's success was due to secure connections and ensuring that new users had at least 20 friends on the platform, which made it more engaging.

We initially included detailed profiles on Facebook, such as dorms and courses, to create a college-specific environment that fostered a sense of community and trust among users.

Our early debate about the quality of data on Facebook led us to prioritize clean and accurate information, which helped establish a reliable platform that users could trust.

When I joined Google, I believed in its mission to provide the world with information, and at Facebook, I saw the potential for real identity on the Internet.

Facebook started as a service for Harvard students but expanded because almost everyone has friends and family they want to stay connected with.

Facebook's success stemmed from our commitment to keep improving the platform based on user demand, which was different from my previous projects.
