This is an exposé of Facebook by a woman who held a high power position with the company for a number of years. The book was very frank and well written.

Careless People: A story of where I used to work by Sarah Wynn-Williams
I will rate this book, especially when Goodreads has declared it no longer acceptable. You are pathetic. Get a grip. Meanwhile the US Secretary of State is touring Europe, wetting his pants because he thinks freedom of speech is under threat here 😆
As expected, Meta's employees are complete idiots. Unfortunately, the author is also quite a moron, and not just in terms of her attitude to her work. However, she deserves great credit for writing about the current state of affairs and the downright infectious loss of decency and common sense.
