[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I finished this book and really enjoyed it. It made me double down on never joining Facebook again, even to keep up with family who are on it. [/quote]

I am not a Facebook person and never have been but I am also aware of tons of misses in this book.  I would not base a decision on Facebook usage on this.  [/quote]

Interesting.  I would, so I am curious if you see any connection between the protest events in Myanmar, facebook and if/how Facebook contributes to autocracy and the polarization of politics.  I think there is a pretty direct connection, and felt the book laid those out well in the final chapters.  Maybe I am missing something, so I would love to know your perspective on what was wrong about the authors thoughts.[/quote]

FB/Meta do a lot wrong but this book isn’t factual.  Two wrongs don’t make a right perhaps.  [/quote]

Ok- Macmillan is standing behind it and Meta is attacking the author for going against their NDA, not attacking the veracity of the book. That said,  I am open to hearing about these issues, but if you can’t point to specifics, then just saying it “isn’t factual” makes your case pretty weak.[/quote]
