This is rather offtopic but it bothers me how most people in IT seem to use 'transparent' to mean 'opaque'.
When I hear PMs say "this change will be completely transparent to clients" what they mean is, the client will see no difference, which means really, the details are hidden in a black - opaque - box.
Transparent has a unique meaning in the context of computing And a different one in design, business and physics.
Importantly however; Tech people can claim they are being 'transparent'. To them this can mean no visible difference to the user- and to everyone else means visible/public and available for scrutiny.
So yes, I am sure Zuckerberg is focused on 'transparency'.
Unclear whether this was an ingenious comment that points out the daft American multi-word expression "I could care less" also means it's own opposite.
Doesn't transparent mean that the interface stays the same and clients can interact with the system in the same way as before without the need to change their code?
