Mark Zuckerberg, one of the richest names in the world, is on the agenda with a remarkable issue in the USA. The businessman, who expanded his land on the island of Kauai in Hawaii by 110 acres, could not escape the reaction of the people of the region. Zuckerberg, who already owns 1400 acres of land and increased his total land to 1510 acres with the last purchase, is accused of “colonizing” Kauai.
As a matter of fact, we cannot say that the reaction in the region is quite unfair. Because, due to the acquisitions, the beaches that are loved by both tourists and locals have become the property of Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Pricilla Chan. Moreover, Mark Zuckerberg built a 707-acre wall in the area and completely cut off the ties of his land with the people of the region.
“Mark Zuckerberg’s Stop Colonizing Kauai” campaign launched
You see Mark Zuckerberg’s estate in Hawaii. The blue border indicates the size of the land purchased in 2021. Boundaries are approximate.
Mark Zuckerberg’s land in Hawaii also has jungles. People in the region are also reacting because of this situation. Because the terms of purchase are unknown. In other words, there is a possibility that the Zuckerberg family will destroy the forests in question. This is exactly the reason for some of the reactions.
A campaign was also launched against Mark Zuckerberg, who was declared persona non grata, and his wife. This online campaign was called “Mark Zuckerberg’s Stop Colonizing Kauai.” It is not known for now whether the campaign, which has collected around 1 million signatures, will reach a conclusion.
