An Ugly Truth

This is an excellent takedown of Facebook, going hard on how the company created its own disinformation nightmare by treating extremist hate speech as “important political content.” Outstandingly written and devastating, it also sheds light on the epically gross working relationship between Zuck and Sheryl. If you can tolerate 300+ pages about some of the worst people in the world but want more ammunition against the selective applications of “intellectual freedom,” pick it up.

Ma che inquietudine. Il libro parla della storia di Facebook e arriva all'inizio del 2021. Parla di come viene gestita la privacy degli utenti e come sono usate le informazioni interne.
La traduzione è ottima e il libro scorre. Anche se l'angoscia e la rabbia sono monotone crescenti.

More to say about this later ... but first pass reaction: not only an insider view of FB's rise in the social media space, but also a reminder of just how many scandals FB has been involved in over the last 10-15 years as, the company outgrew its initial 'mission' and struggled to understand how easily bad actors could manipulate their system.
