  1. 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 — 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 — 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 — which, of course, we’re never going to get.

  2. Of course FB is censoring the author
    Well written and pretty believable — thankfully I’m off FB. Truly a careless company, which is a shame. Could have been a force for positive change, but apparently there’s never enough money and notoriety for the truly greedy and morally corrrupt.

  3. Chilling view of the powers that shape our times…
    Insiders viewpoint of how the “Greed is Good” generation goes to work and the amount of control they exercise over society. Everyone should read this book!

  4. How Facebook failed us all
    Sarah Wynn-Williams presents an extremely disturbing, insider’s view of Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook. The very fact that Zuckerberg and Meta Platforms, Inc., formerly known as Facebook, are now legally attempting to block further sales of this book, speaks volumes about the type of person Zuckerberg is.As a former Facebook subscriber, having read Ms. Wynn-Williams’ book confirms that I made the right decision to abandon Facebook. This is a must-read book for anyone concerned about the influence of social media on our children, our nation and other countries.

  5. extraordinary book
    I could not put this book down. It’s full of really important stuff but delivered in a very readable and sometimes LOL funny way. Can’t recommend it more!!!!

  6. Fascinating book
    Wow! I haven’t finished it yet but this book is fascinating. I want to give a special shout out to Meta. If they hadn’t sued the author to stop the promotion of the book, I probably never would have found about it! Great stuff
