How the fuck is an anti-disparagement clause even allowed to exist and how the fuck is it enforceable 8 years after she no longer works for the company, that's absolutely bullshit.

Normally I would hope for the government to step in and say this is not remotely legal. But unfortunately our government is currently in the hands of billionaire buddy Donnie F Trump.

Even better, buy it through bookshop.org and also support a local bookstore: https://bookshop.org/p/books/careless-people-a-cautionary-tale-of-power-greed-and-lost-idealism/22213433

The hard cover is on back order, but they sell an ebook version.

Thanks! Should be fixed!

Funniest thing, I would’ve never known about this book if Meta hadn’t tried to block the sales of it. Definitely going to read it and see how it is.

"Book from a whistleblower - titled 'Meta' - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon"

Sometimes I hate the whole "proper prose title" that articles use

Edit:
Perhaps it's "Book from whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon".
I didn't read the article. The title broke my brain

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Heck, prose aside, is there something wrong with commas?

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

It's just that punctuation is not meant to be used in titles.

English has a bunch of weird rules.

[–] slartibartfast@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

Those are used to replace "and" obviously.

"Book from a whistleblower - titled 'Meta' - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon"

No? "Book from a whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon ".

[–] brb@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Book from a whistleblower, that Meta blocked from being promoted, is now a best seller on Amazon

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Book from a whistleblower—which Meta blocked from being promoted—is now a best seller on Amazon.

[–] towerful@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Meta promotes books?

Barbara strikes again!

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 20 hours ago

I wonder if we could get Barbara to endorse or at least comment on this book on whatever social media she's on.
