MENLO PARK, CALIFORNIA — It looks as if Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has a real big man crush for ancient Roman emperor Augustus Caesar.<br />"You have all these good and bad and complex figures," Zuck said in a New Yorker interview. "I think Augustus is one of the most fascinating. Basically, through a really harsh approach, he established two hundred years of world peace."<br />According to Zuckerberg, Augustus had to make choices, "that didn't come for free, and he had to do certain things." <br />The Facebook king's Roman interests started in high school. He also named his second daughter August and spent his 2012 honeymoon in Rome. <br />The New Yorker interview suggests the Augustus mindset could be why Facebook has pursued growth at all costs. <br />This growth strategy also opened up Facebook to outside developers without putting proper safeguards in place to ensure user data was not misused — Cambridge Analytica. <br />Looks like growth at all costs actually has quite a few costs, some that Facebook may not be able to afford.
