If you tell people not to read a book, they're definitely going to read it.

      Even better, buy it through bookshop.org and also support a local bookstore: https://bookshop.org/p/books/careless-people-a-cautionary-tale-of-power-greed-and-lost-idealism/22213433

      The hard cover is on back order, but they sell an ebook version.

      What’s so bad about Amazon? It’s nice to have 2 day shipping and not have to go out of your way to get somewhere.

    “Book from a whistleblower - titled ‘Meta’ - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon”

    Sometimes I hate the whole “proper prose title” that articles use

    Edit:
    Perhaps it’s “Book from whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon”.
    I didn’t read the article. The title broke my brain

        Those are used to replace “and” obviously.

        It’s just that punctuation is not meant to be used in titles.

        English has a bunch of weird rules.

    Funniest thing, I would’ve never known about this book if Meta hadn’t tried to block the sales of it. Definitely going to read it and see how it is.

    How the fuck is an anti-disparagement clause even allowed to exist and how the fuck is it enforceable 8 years after she no longer works for the company, that’s absolutely bullshit.

    Normally I would hope for the government to step in and say this is not remotely legal. But unfortunately our government is currently in the hands of billionaire buddy Donnie F Trump.
