Suckerberg cries about a book he says hasn’t been fact checked! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is she donating the proceeds to a charity?

prr333.bsky.social•69 days ago

Thanks for the reminder to buy my copy.

itsjoelokay.bsky.social•70 days ago

if giving a factual account of what it's like inside the company can be read as disparaging account, Meta has bigger problems

anastar.bsky.social•69 days ago

Just ordered more copies for the store.

tavern0513.bsky.social•70 days ago

Thanks. Just bought.

joanwalsh.bsky.social•70 days ago

Just did.

kygranli.bsky.social•70 days ago

Well I have to read it now.

They can sue to stop free speech?

based on a nondisparagement contract signed by the author, allegedly

(Meta looks unlikely to prevail, on the face of it)

They should lose at least as far as blocking publication/sales is concerned. The remedy is monetary against the employee (assuming the NDA exists and is valid).

mariabustillos.com•70 days ago

what about this tho

noahdahl.bsky.social•70 days ago

Meta lawyers are talking to the Trump admin rn about what to do about this...

izzos.us•70 days ago

Without seeing the details of the NDA signed it's not really possible to tell if it would be considered overbroad.

Even with this rule, NDAs aren't always no good.

If a questionable at best company tries to silence an author, you know the book is good.

dougsewell.bsky.social•69 days ago

Friday morning 3/14 it’s ranked #3 in dead tree books and #12 in Kindle store with several topical #1 rankings.
I would say the Streisand Effect is doing its job admirably.

virginiaopossum.bsky.social•69 days ago

Could not resist.

bethmorgan.bsky.social•69 days ago

Not only did I just purchase this from my local indie, I also got a second copy to put in the Little Free Library closest to Zuck's house.

theodora30.bsky.social•69 days ago

I also puts hold on it in my local library. They already have a long waiting list. I will by the audio version too. I hope media people of all types read and report on it to so sales will skyrocket.

bethmorgan.bsky.social•61 days ago

Delivered my book to the LFL across the street from Zuck’s house. Then I circled the block putting up these flyers and by the time I got back it was already gone. His neighbors must love him.

Suddenly know what I'm getting everyone for their birthdays this year!!😂

Purchased!

genomesevolve.bsky.social•70 days ago

Only partway through, but it starts out in rather gripping (no pun intended) fashion.

@maitlis.bsky.social why aren't you promoting the interview you did with her? https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/episodes/7DrpKCA/

“Several months wait” on Libby!

coconutlizard.bsky.social•69 days ago

He fashions himself to be a Caesar. Scary bc they both have/had evil in common but pathetically laughable bc he is such a dork. Really Z you are to be laughed at and ignored. Aligning yourself with evil to gain power is so out of your depth. Stop trying to control book sales. It makes you pitiable.

coconutlizard.bsky.social•59 days ago

His wife must be nuts too!

arthur.qeng-ho.org•70 days ago

Definitely Streisand Time. This should increase sales.

Just found a local bookstore to purchase the book from - thanks for whinging so much Zuck - now everyone knows about the book!

misellapuella.bsky.social•69 days ago

Already on order for my library 😎

theodora30.bsky.social•69 days ago

Mine too. It already has 70 holds but they also have 20 copies which is a lot for my library. I live in the South so it looks like this isn’t of interest just in blue regions.

Oh My Is That A Book About How Meta Formerly Facebook Is A Shit Company That Treats Its Employees Like Shit As Well As Its Clients?
