@RichardJMurphy It’s half to much. And notice #europian big investors as pension funds will never invest in #tesla #meta and #google anymore.
Another excellent and very funny article by @freddy

Meta Tries to Bury a Tell-All Book
https://www.wired.com/story/plaintext/careless-people-meta-mark-zuckerberg/
> Mark Zuckerberg might be in his post-fact-checking-era. But that hasn’t stopped Meta from going after the author of Careless People.

Mr Meta-Facebook is throwing his weight around, desperately trying to have this book withdrawn (he is a big supporter of free speech) so obviously it's best others don't read it or share this information... he's already... errrm... 'obtained' an injunction preventing the author from further promoting it herself.
#StreisandEffect Alert: Former Meta employee barred from promoting explosive memoir after META obtains a temporary injunction barring the author from promoting the memoir or bad-mouthing the tech giant. Furthermore, she was ordered to "talk-nice" while the case proceeds.
Promotion must be done by anti-Meta advocates
"Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed and Lost Idealism" is an explosive memoir charting one woman’s career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them. #META #FaceBook #USPol

#StreisandEffect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead increases public awareness of the information.
The term was coined by Mike Masnick after Barbra Streisand attempted in 2003 to suppress the publication of a photograph showing her clifftop residence in Malibu, taken to document coastal erosion in California, inadvertently drawing far greater attention to the previously obscure photograph. The effect exemplifies psychological reactance, in which the attempt to hide information instead makes it more interesting to seek out and propagate
I think #Meta just Streisanded themselves.
I say this because I have no idea who the author of the book is. However I'm sure there are a lot of more famous people that would be willing to take her place to promote the book.
So I went to the local Barnes & Noble and sure enough they had a display table with like 40 copies of the new CARELESS PEOPLE and as I feared the price was . . . the list price of $32.99, and with tax it came to $35.69 and I’ m thinking, is exactly why I don’t buy from bookstores. The economics simply do not work.
Cashier tried hard to get me to sign up for their “rewards” program which like most corporate retail “rewards” programs, makes no economic sense.
Fuck you, Meta!

Another interesting review of the Facebook/Meta exposé CARELESS PEOPLE.

> Mark Zuckerberg is blasted in a new book, "Careless People," from ex-Facebook director Sarah Wynn-Williams. The company is pushing to slow its spread.
Loving the playfulness of this article about a book which Meta forbids you to read … peppered with links to buy the book.
https://gizmodo.com/mark-zuckerberg-doesnt-want-you-to-read-this-book-2000575582
The book is entitled "Careless People."
"Sarah Wynn-Williams has resurfaced details about Mark Zuckerberg's attempts to bring Facebook to China."
"Appalled" Flatiron Books says, "We remain committed to publishing important books such as this. We will absolutely continue to support and promote it."

Meta puts stop on promotion of tell-all book by former employee
> Social media company wins emergency arbitration ruling on book, Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams
Facebook (Meta) wants to stop the author of a memoir about working there from promoting the book.
The memoir is "Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism" by Sarah Wynn-Williams [1]
You should definitely tell your friends about it, ask your library to get a copy, or buy it.
