Thanks to the magic of the Streisand effect, I just heard about #CarelessPeople - a book by former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.

Apparently the company is FREAKING OUT and seeking legal ways to stop its promotion. I can see why. This article about it in the Times made my jaw drop: https://web.archive.org/web/20250310221013/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html

I will definitely order it at my local bookshop.

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.

@_elena @gemlog Misunderstood the article about them suppressing Wynn-Williams promotion of the book as suppressing the book itself. So rushed and got it from Amazon before it got entirely suppressed. Seems that hasn't happened yet, but who knows these days. Starts off as a very interesting read.

@_elena @Bobsee @gemlog Of all the available facts about Amazon (and its owner), at least some must've crossed your path. You should probably check to see if you didn't misunderstand them too.
