“The comments from David Fincher about how Facebook was created (talking about the film's story), he mentions that Mark has a break up with a girl at the beginning and goes back to his dorm and starts coding, and that it's his social awkwardness that acts as inspiration to create Facebook. He doesn't distinguish at any point that the things he's talking about is a work of fiction, and talks about it numerous times as if it is the real story... which it isn't.
For those that aren't aware, Mark has the same girlfriend he was dating from before he made Facebook, the girl at the beginning of the movie never existed, and his motivation to create Facebook was that he wanted to invent something, nothing so sinister as getting vengeance on an ex-girlfriend.”
