Zuckerberg’s intention was to raise awareness about the damage caused by Hurricane Maria, but not everyone saw it that way.
Mark Zuckerberg’s latest attempt to promote virtual reality through Facebook isn’t sitting well with everyone, and for that he’s sorry.
On Tuesday, the Facebook CEO issued an apology for a controversial virtual reality tour he gave of the hurricane damage in Puerto Rico that was streamed live on the social media site the day before.
The tour, which showed a cartoon-like avatar of Zuckerberg visiting flooded areas of the island, was meant to demonstrate how virtual reality can raise public awareness about the crisis there. However, some internet users accused Zuckerberg of exploiting the disaster to market the company’s technology.
