Venus retro and the Social Community

I am bringing up the movie Social Community in relation to Venus retrograde because it came to theaters about a week before Venus stationed retrograde in Scorpio.
Now, the young man that the movie centers on (I haven't seen the film), is one Mark Zuckerberg, ( May 14, 1984, White Plains, NY,   who I don't have a  birth time for)  the main founder/creator of Facebook,  who has the Sun in Taurus and the ruler of Taurus, the planet Venus (ruling society, and relations on many levels) also in the grounded earth sign of Taurus, trine (in a clean line of communication with) the planet Jupiter in Capricorn. Now, Jupiter isn't usually happy in Capricorn, but these two planets being in an easier dialogue t making  them work well, and Jupiter expands Venus' realm (friends) and can also make the social element lucrative (earth signs can relate to money, just as the planet Venus does)
Mix in the serious planet of Saturn in Scorpio, opposing that Venus, he is going to make those social skills work for him.
His communication planet, Mercury, is in the pioneer sign of Aries, in an out-of-sign trine to Neptune in Sag.  Both of these planets, one can argue, are the different faces of community, Mercury being the neighborhood, and Neptune being the connection between  all things, a global community.  The North Node being in Gemini also underlines the idea of communication and community, and the joining together of people and groups.

Now, I wonder if we will see a darker side to Facebook, with Venus now retrograde in Scorpio, while it is activating Mr. Zuckerberg's Saturn.  Will he be making changes to the Social Network, will new defence parameters be put up?
