(Books count as Entertainment, right? If Zuckerberg has no haters, I am dead. Currently waiting in line for this book on Libby as I type this)

Meta Platforms META.O on Wednesday won an emergency arbitration ruling to temporarily stop promotion of the tell-all book "Careless People" by a former employee, according to a copy of the ruling published by the social media company.

The book by Meta's former director of global public policy, Sarah Wynn-Williams, was called by the New York Times book review "an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful companies in the world," and its leading executives, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, former Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan.

Halt promotion, does that mean that we can still get it?

I can still place a hold on Libby and it looks like you can still buy the book. She just can't promote it. It's all weird. I wanna read this out of spite.
