Mark Zuckerberg sued native Hawaiians for their own land | AJ+

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg used a complicated legal framework in Hawaii called “quiet title” to sue ancestral land owners and force them to sell their lands. It was all to secure his private getaway on Kauai. After Native Hawaiians protested, using his own platform, he dropped the suits. But the damage is done, as AJ+'s Dena Takruri explored in this battle of land rights in paradise.

zuck is still using the same tactics he used to gain success. Lie, cheat, steal.

Im Native American and this pisses me and my community off... My ancestry and culture have been destroyed and I'm tired of seeing this continue. We need to repect people, culture and the land.

[JJunkAFunk]

Well Zuck can go to hell. Give them permits for their lands. They’re not just legally entitled, but they’re also culturally entitled for it.

I’m so glad you highlighted this issue. I went there for the first time 20 years ago and started reading the history and I am disgusted how the native Hawaiians have been and still are being treated to this day.

This aged super well. Now the land grab of Maui will take place. These people (Zuck being only 1 of them) are disgusting. I hate seeing what's happening to these people.

They are doing this in the US mainland too. Too few people have too much power.

I'm deleting Facebook. You should too

[bluemusej]

This is terrifying to watch today. My heart goes out to all Hawaiians!

[rlbrown]

This is completely unacceptable!!! Selfish, ridiculously rich (paying no taxes) are taking anything they want regardless of who or what they hurt to do it! This needs to be stopped! This is beyond horrible!

[estelanicolas]

Greed has no limits. Grabbing ancestral lands is immoral, just evil.

[beentheredonethat]

I'm all for unstateing Hawaii
They should be able to control their own land, including kicking out the US government

[donnaerichards]

How did he not feel horribily disgusting within himself doing something like this ?I'm appalled

[blackrain]

Free Hawaii, give them their land back!

[steveseiler]

my heart breaks for a beautiful people who have had there homes removed illegally may justice come soon

[TheAnthropol]

As an American, i agree. Fight for your land.

[NobodyYouKnow]

I deleted my Facebook years ago I suggest everyone do the same.

[TheUnknownSwan]

I'm truly disgusted. This is happening everywhere. He bought land here in Big Sur as well...on sacred land that our native Esselen's had been buried for 1, 000's of years. He doesn't care. Why do these people need so much land and own multiple palace's all over the world? He bought land in New Zealand too. I don't think he's human...he has no heart or soul.

[lovinsunsets]

Heartbreaking. Just heartbreaking. This is a huge example of the more money you have in this world, the more powerful you are. It's sad that the land is getting taken away from their own natives.

[jesswhycamarz]

I really hate when people idolize million/ billionaires. They never do anything but destroy.

[jayblowdyer]

Mark Zuckerburg needs to stop being selfish and pay more on his taxes.

[KimJungDwayne]

Who's here after the Maui fire massacre? And who is starting to piece this wicked puzzle together?
