An Ugly Truth

I read a sample of the just-published book that Meta is suing to block and it's not my cup of tea (a first-hand account written in the present tense like a YA novel which works for me in the Hunger Games but little else), but this book written by two NYT reporteres is all you need - it's got everything, including genocide, and doesn't just talk about Zuckerberg (let's not forget Sheryl "Lean In" Sandberg). X formerly known as twitter is more gleefully evil, but Meta formerly known as facebook has probably done more damage and killed more people.

This is an excellent takedown of Facebook, going hard on how the company created its own disinformation nightmare by treating extremist hate speech as “important political content.” Outstandingly written and devastating, it also sheds light on the epically gross working relationship between Zuck and Sheryl. If you can tolerate 300+ pages about some of the worst people in the world but want more ammunition against the selective applications of “intellectual freedom,” pick it up.

Ma che inquietudine. Il libro parla della storia di Facebook e arriva all'inizio del 2021. Parla di come viene gestita la privacy degli utenti e come sono usate le informazioni interne.
La traduzione è ottima e il libro scorre. Anche se l'angoscia e la rabbia sono monotone crescenti.
