    Dude I hate meta and zuckerberg religiously but all of these points seemed like making a fuss about nothing to make profit. Most things here seemed pretty normal and expected for a company that big and it’s CEO.

    Now I’m speculating if all of this book and suing it’s writer is a psyops by meta to say “these are the worst things that they could come up with. These are as bad as it gets”

      This article does almost seem written to downplay the book’s most damaging claims. They buried the Myanmar story at the end and the detailed account the author gave to the carelessness with which the execs treated the riots and violence. Another anecdote missing from this article is how they are pushing weight loss and beauty ads to teen girls right when they delete a recently taken selfie and how execs responded when this was brought up. Not that that is news exactly as we already know Meta does that sort of thing
