Martin<a href="https://mastodon.nz/@ThisCJ" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ThisCJ</a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/@rmi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rmi</a> Makes you wonder, though. The clumsy attempt to squish this book was foreseeable a boost in sales. Is Facebook really that stupid? Do they really care about the public opinion? Or do they -in what way ever- benefit from the sales? <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/carelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carelessPeople</a>

Aral BalkanMy “not a book review” of Careless People – the book Facebook doesn’t want you to read.With highlights on Ireland’s complicity and the lengths people farmers (as I call them) will go to to appease authoritarian regimes like China.<a href="https://ar.al/2025/03/21/careless-people/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ar.al/2025/03/21/careless-people/</a>It’s clear from this that Ireland should be stripped of the authority to enforce GDPR and, really, people farmers – and the business model of people farming in general – should be banned in the EU.(Don’t hold your breaths.)<a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/carelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carelessPeople</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#facebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/peopleFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peopleFarming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/surveillanceCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillanceCapitalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiliconValley</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/ventureCapital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ventureCapital</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/technofascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technofascism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ireland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/tax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tax</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GDPR</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/humanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanRights</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democracy</a>

Tristan Colgate-McFarlaneFacebook banging on about there being no evidence for negative impacts of phones/internet/facebook access on kids, whilst their management routinely refuse to let their kids use facebook, or have phones..... because *your* kids using facebook is growth, but *their* kids using it is dangerous to their young minds.Makes sense.<a href="https://toot.community/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meta</a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarelessPeople</a>

Elena Rossini ⁂An update: last night I started reading <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarelessPeople</a> and I cannot emphasize enough HOW GOOD it is. A real page-turner.No wonder <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meta</a> executives are trying to shut down its promotional tour. They come across as shallow, greedy and irresponsible.The author wrote in the prelude that working there was "like watching a bunch of fourteen-year-olds who’ve been given superpowers and an ungodly amount of money, as they jet around the world to figure out what power has bought and brought them." 🔥

KariFor anyone trying to get Careless People as an audiobook, do not buy it from Amazon since it is more likely to get deleted from your account. Use Libro.fm instead to get a DRM-Free copy <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/carelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carelessPeople</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Libro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Libro</a>.fm <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meta</a> <a href="https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781250403155-careless-people" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781250403155-careless-people</a>

KariI usually wait for my turn in the public library for these kinds of books. Considering how badly Meta wants people not to read it, I knew I had to get it before it was too late. I'm glad to see it is available at Libro.fm <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarelessPeople</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meta</a> <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/meta-wins-halt-promotion-careless-people-tell-all-book-by-former-employee-2025-03-13/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/legal/meta-wins-halt-promotion-careless-people-tell-all-book-by-former-employee-2025-03-13/</a>

Elena Rossini ⁂Thanks to the magic of the Streisand effect, I just heard about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CarelessPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarelessPeople</a> - a book by former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams.Apparently the company is FREAKING OUT and seeking legal ways to stop its promotion. I can see why. This article about it in the Times made my jaw drop: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250310221013/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20250310221013/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html</a>I will definitely order it at my local bookshop.🔗: <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/careless-people-a-cautionary-tale-of-power-greed-and-lost-idealism/22213433" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bookshop.org/p/books/careless-people-a-cautionary-tale-of-power-greed-and-lost-idealism/22213433</a>Edit: included non-paywalled link (thanks <a href="https://tilde.zone/@gemlog" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gemlog</a>) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a>
