GRIPPING
I’m 3/4 of the way through and the book is INCREDIBLE, yet completely consistent with what we know of Zuckerberg & Sandberg so far â they are power-hungry and only marginally concerned with the profound and dire consequences of their choices.Absolutely alarming that after coming to realize that his platform swung the 2016 election in favor of Trump, Zuckerberg … decides to run for president. Equally, or even more alarming, is the revelation that FB execs were completely willing to let the Chinese Communist Party harvest Chinese users’ info if they would allow FB to operate in China. Also completely baffling that Joel Kaplan had to be told that paying politicians to do FB’s bidding would be bribery.The author speaks in neutral, common-sense language, describing observable actions â words said, things done. This is an absolutely damning account of the 3 people in power at FB during the years it had a profound and irrevocable influence on America and many other countries’ elections, social discourse, and way of life.Thank you, Sarah, for your courage writing this book. Unsurprisingly Meta has issued a laughable PR statement about it and is attempting to stop the author from marketing her book. We need more whistleblowers like Haugen & Winn-Williams. These companies absolutely rule our lives. It’s because of them, and especially Meta, that we are drowning in political polarization. These 3 execs deserve our collective outrage, and they owe America and the world a mea culpa â which, of course, we’re never going to get.
You really are not paranoid – this book confirms your suspicions.
Brava to author Sarah Wynn-Williams! This is one of the most disturbing, yet believable, books I have ever read. After reading how Zuck and his team manipulate individuals and governments, including the US elections, I will never again believe that my thoughts about loss of privacy and democracy are paranoia. I’m guess we probably won’t have another honest election for the US presidency again. I hope she and her family remain safe. She has stirred a different type of hornet’s nest. Especially with META trying to shut her down right now even though the book has been released and published.
Teaches you how to use Facebook – as a tool, not a platform
Wow. I very much enjoyed reading this book. The writing style kept me wound in. It also taught me how to approach Facebook. That is, not as a platform, but a tool, and only then with great care as to how I and my society are being manipulated. I’ve been waiting for a read like this.
Of course FB is censoring the author
Well written and pretty believable â thankfully Iâm off FB. Truly a careless company, which is a shame. Could have been a force for positive change, but apparently thereâs never enough money and notoriety for the truly greedy and morally corrrupt.
Simple-minded billionaires
Fascinating read, not overly academic. It makes me laugh (with bitterness) that democracy has been brought down by mere lack of care and greed, rather than evil genius. Just, plain old human ignorance and indifference. Yet it makes so much sense.I am left with the impression Zuckerberg – and other elite Facebook/Meta leaders – are really quite impoverished people. Theyâve lived very narrow lives. Same school. Same incestous social circle. Zuckerberg didnât get the full college experience. Heâs never really worked another job, had a boss, or or been accountable to a team of people. So much power with so little experience. He seems like an unremarkable guy apart from creating Facebook. And his lieutenants seem even more morally stunted. Zuckerberg seems like a poor actor. Smiling Sandberg, more dangerous due to charisma.I am annoyed with the author, however. Why didnât she just LEAVE? Money, health issues, equity, denial. I get it. And I donât. I have no doubt the work environment was toxic and abusive but on a personal level, I wish she has found the strength to get a different job rather than hope FB change.All that said, this rings true. I land on her side and agree: Zuckerberg would be an awful President.What a joke. Only there is no amusing punchline.
