It is nice that she is revealing the inner works of Facebook.

But I can’t help thinking that she contributed to the making of the monster, that she most probably greatly benefited from it and that she will keep the wealth she gained from it.

But it is still nice to see this book coming out.

True, we need these books, yet I have this little nagging voice in the back of my head.

But nevertheless, we need more of these books.

Thanks for the tip.

Book Review: ‘Careless People,’ by Sarah Wynn-Williams

“Careless People,” a memoir by a former Facebook executive, portrays feckless company leaders cozying up to authoritarian regimes.

^{Jennifer Szalai (The New York Times)}

An update: last night I started reading #CarelessPeople and I cannot emphasize enough HOW GOOD it is. A real page-turner.

No wonder #Meta executives are trying to shut down its promotional tour. They come across as shallow, greedy and irresponsible.

The author wrote in the prelude that working there was "like watching a bunch of fourteen-year-olds who’ve been given superpowers and an ungodly amount of money, as they jet around the world to figure out what power has bought and brought them." 🔥

Thanks, I wanted to get that book. Definitely a Streisand effect purchase!

I also added it to my library backup in case it gets pulled for some reason.

I'm coming down with something, so that may actually be what I will do. 😁

Got a new eReader with colour highlighter too, and this is the kind of book where I may highlight a lot too!

That‘s great to hear 🙂!! It definitely just made it to the top of my book shopping list, tho over here the English paper version seems to be quite hard to get at the moment.
Might have sth to do with this:

Meta stops former Facebook director from promoting critical memoir

Social media company wins US emergency ruling preventing ex-director from publicising her book.

^{Katie Razzall (BBC News)}

Half way through, and it really is well written. It is also a lot more personal than I expected.

I keep rolling my eyes at the Zuck and his gang though. I can see why he doesn't want it out there!

Totally. A bunch of kids with infinite money and he is their king.

And then the other parts where they want to sacrifice an employee for jail to see if Zuck gets arrested in South Korea. Or the board defining motherhood as a you problem you should not talk about. Or willingly betraying identities of their Hong Kong customers to the Chinese government to be able to enter their market ...

As soon as I caught wind that Meta is trying to squash it, I bought an e copy (saving it for this weekend).

If it causes grief to Zuckerman, its worth the $ to me.

I wonder if @markmccaughrean heard any rumours about getting the raw images on PSA (I’d love to play with them for my series of Potatoes over Mars) I see a lot of potential :)))

@andrealuck I'm afraid I'm completely out of the loop on Hera matters – it's not a Science Programme mission & thus won't (necessarily) follow the standard PSA processes. That's not to say that it's not a good mission & that there's any bad faith involved at all, just that it's outside the normal flow followed by a science mission.

Alan Fitzsimmons at QUB is involved – he may know. I'll ask.

can relate :D

…which reminds me: Did I ask you about these svg assets in your ED app before?

I… kinda just used em in my personal thing but mebbe I should check up on this should I release it xD xD
