Oligarchs are immoral business leaders who, as Russia’s Vladimir Putin defined them in the Financial Times, use their “proximity to the authorities to receive super profits”. That makes me wonder: is there any better description of Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg — a man who caters to US President Donald Trump by refusing to remove his inaccurate and inflammatory posts from the social media platform — than an American oligarch?
寡头是不道德的商业领袖,正如俄罗斯的弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)在英国《金融时报》上所定义的那样,他们利用自己“与当局的密切关系来获取巨额利润”。这让我不禁要问:要形容Facebook首席执行官马克•扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)还有比“美国寡头”更好的词语吗?扎克伯格迎合美国总统唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump),拒绝从Facebook上删除后者发布的不准确且具有煽动性的帖子。
