First of all, I liked reading this book. But I have some aspects which made me think.

From the outside, as a user, you could clearly see Facebooks decline over the years, from an interesting platform connecting people to one of the most hateful places of the clearweb. It was interesting to read what led to this development from an inside view. This book mentions some places, where Facebook chose money over moral. All that from someone who worked at the core of this development. Additionally it shows what kind of workplace Facebook was: you were expected to not have a personal life or mention your personal life at work. How you, as an employee were treated, while publicly rallying for totally different positions.

But what bothers me is that Wynn-Williams does not really take blame for it, while having been Director of Public Policy. Sure, corporate America can obstruct changes, but the only thing she really takes blame for is introducing Zuckerberg to the world of politics. She says she tried to work the system from within rather than from the outside, but this is what they all say, right? I mean, I also get that she's not being too hard with herself, given that could destroy her personal standing.

So all in all, it's been a good read, but I have some mixed feelings about it. I also had the lingering fear of falling for confirmation bias allover the book: did my negative feelings about Facebook make me believe some things more blindly?
