That's an excellent read. It not only recounts the principal allegations from the book, but also mentions in passing that the book 'Careless People' became a #1 bestseller while its author was completely banned from promoting that book.
By the way, the book itself is also worth reading! Provides a lot more context on how Facebook evolved their Public Pulicy team into a political manipulation team.

He throws huge temper tantrums and pouts so much when he loses at board games while traveling on the facebook private jet so all his staff conspires to let him win. I read the book. Also Sheryl Sandberg comes off pretty badly, buying $13,000 worth of lingerie for her "cutie" personal assistants and asking them to wear skimpy pajamas and snuggle with her in the bed on the corporate jet. There is a lot of corporate pri…

Dated Bobby Kotick? That alone is a red flag...

wild stuff in there:
> And she saw Meta intentionally target emotionally vulnerable young women to generate additional revenue by, for example, tracking when teenage girls deleted selfies, identify- ing those girls as feeling worthless, and using that event as a trigger to immediately show them advertisements for beauty products.

I wondered what she was calling "duress". Meta made executing this Severance Agreement a condition to Ms. Wynn-Williams’s ability to submit for reimbursement over $300,000 in pre-approved business expenses she had paid using her personal funds, including luxury hotel rooms and other travel expenses for Mr. Zuckerberg and fellow Meta executives. Yeah, that's duress in my book.

#67>Sarah Wynn-Williams served as director of global public policy at Facebook, now operating under parent company Meta Platforms Inc., from 2011 until her firing in 2017. “Careless People” alleges cruel and otherwise disturbing behavior by CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other executives. I would have liked to learn about specific allegations of "cruel and otherwise disturbing" from the article, instead of leaving this complet…

It's also a really good reminder that you shouldn't be fronting money to your employer. They want you to travel? Then the pig fuckers can pony up the airfare/hotel/food money up front.
Experienced business travelers want to use their personal credit cards so they get the points, and scaled businesses overwhelmingly disallow this, because they want that value for themselves.

It's hilarious that anyone would give a shit about Zuck having a bad attitude about losing board games. Hopefully the book has something more damning than that.
The Myanmar struggles where Zuck explicitly valued a feature and the approval of the administration over open threats to harm dissidents. Or the times when he proposed using lower level FB staff as canaries in the coal mine over governments who threatened to arrest FB employees because the company was breaking their laws... and in one case, an employee was. And Zuck wanted to sit on getting him legal help and out of…
Incredibly yucky of Zuckerberg do that. I found it very hard to read through that part.

#70Maybe we can start calling the Streisand effect the Careless People effect as a modern update and way to keep Zuckerino annoyed
Good idea. I'm gonna start doing this.
