The Facebook chief has teamed up with a raft of other tech heavyweights including Eric Schmidt (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/21/eric-schmidt-says-google-now-for-ios-hinges-upon-apple/), Marissa Mayer (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/16/yahoo-appoints-marissa-mayer-as-ceo/) and Elon Musk (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/05/elon-musk-interview/) to form FWD.us, a political lobby group designed to promote tech-friendly causes.
