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.

      I wonder if we could get Barbara to endorse or at least comment on this book on whatever social media she’s on.

    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.
