Zuckerberg, in general, tends to refrain from taking the users' rights and desires into consideration. This is apparent from the Facebook Beacon privacy nightmare and now with his absolute disregard for user feedback on the redesign. To some degree, he has enough userbase capital to make decisions

A cardinal rule in research is to give much more weight to what users *do*, as opposed to listening to what they *say*. While I wouldn't recommend completely ignoring user comments, if you're planning on designing something new, or reaching out to a broader or different audience than your current
