His whole deal is about the 2016 election. While it exposed legitimate issues, I suspect a lot of anti-Zuck/'techlash' sentiment will die down if a Dem is elected next year.

In fact I suspect even now the Techlash is overstated. Elizabeth Warren spent the month of October going after Zuckerberg and meanwhile lost her front-runner status in the polls. Anti-Big-Tech talking points may be red meat for journalists, but average Americans don't care all that much. (Based on this survey, Tech is still the most trusted industry sector: https://www.edelman.com/trust-barometer)

PS. An article about this: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/14/opinion/tech-backlash.htm...
