#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

#StreisandEffect en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisan

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

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.

🤷‍♂️

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."
