Sarah Wynn-Williams had a front-row seat to some of Facebook’s most consequential (and controversial) moments. These are some of the most shocking claims from her memoir, Careless People.
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
