Here she is next to Zuck.

Now he is trying to destroy her.

If you want to know what it's like to run a social media empire, I highly recommend reading her book. It's terrific and entertaining.

In fact, everyone should buy her book

This is the right news. Read the book. Thank you I will be purchasing. Fuck Fb

Read the book. If half of what’s in it is true, these people should be put in jail for the longest time.

Thanks, I just put a hold on this book through Libby.

Thought I knew everything when I started reading through but the levels of casual creepiness amongst the higher ups was way more than anticipated.

Sidenote: I love seeing book recommendations on here and this time I'd actually read it already!

Pirate this shit if she was complicit until now.

Should get to the seat, wait for it to begin, pull out duck tape and put it over her mouth as she sits silent.

Logistically it's difficult to carry around a premeasured piece of duck tape, especially since half her clothes have no pockets, but you could tape it to your wrist inside a long loose sleeve or something. Would also make the adhesive less adhesive to your lips when it's time to get it off.

Wax paper generally works pretty well for transporting stickers and tape.

This is so sad. I read her book. She's a really good and brave person.

Can she be good while working at Facebook?

Bloefz@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 86d (2 replies)

She came there realising the potential of political influence and tried to turn it into a power for good. She failed, obviously.

I think she's a good person if a little naive.

Thanks. I'd say I'd read the book, but given it's about Facebook, that might be bad for my blood pressure.
