If you hadn't heard of this book until Meta tried to silence the author and can afford it maybe you should buy a copy as well.

Facebook is like it’s owner, toxic. I jettisoned Facebook about two years ago, during one of their TOS fiascos.

I love how libraries will get books for you, free if available from other libraries in the same county/city/borough or a small charge if they have to get it from elsewhere.

Easy to be insightful when the author was culpable.

Agreed! Even for those of us who dumped FB and anything related to Meta* years ago, it's worth reading this book. The "lean in" monster is a particularly disturbing person, fits right in with zuck.

That's why I bought it - FB going Full Streisand.

Reading it, it sounded a lot like a tell-all from one criminal, ratting out the others. So, I had mixed feelings by the end.

Or not. I mean they literally planned to promote the far right so they wouldn't get regulated. How any government (well, left leaning) wouldn't want to prioritise regulation is beyond me.

I also read Broken Code last year and that would have had me closing my FB down if I hadn't already.

I just wish as a creative I didn't have to use any of the big social platforms.
