I had never heard of this book before Facebook's attempts to stop its publication put 
it on my radar. Zuck, may I introduce you to Barbra Streisand?

Sarah was hired very early to lead, really start, Facebook's attempts to develop 
relationships with world leaders. She spent a year convincing Facebook that it needed a 
public policy program, and she joined as an idealistic young woman that saw Facebook's 
potential to change the world for the better.

The book covers her nine years at Facebook and her descent into disillusionment as she 
comes to realize Zuck and the rest of Facebook don't give a shit about anything beyond 
maximizing revenue and their personal wealth, and if they have to burn the world to the 
ground in the process, that's fine.

We also learn that Sheryl Sandberg is full of shit in her bestseller Lean In, and that 
women were routinely sexually harassed at Facebook. Sarah was literally answering 
emails while giving birth because that was the expectation at Facebook. Women can have 
it all at Facebook, which means the nanny raises your kids while you work insane hours 
destroying the world.

Not surprisingly, Facebook was willing to give China a back door to track every Chinese 
user to get access to the country; they knew they were enabling genocide in Myanmar, 
and Facebook employees were embedded in the Trump 2016 campaign. They knew what Trump 
was doing, and they were actively helping. They thought (and still think) it was a 
great model for the future due to the amount that the Trump campaign spent on ads. 
Getting politicians to base their campaigns on Facebook meant that those same 
politicians were less likely to regulate Facebook. It wasn't a happy accident. Facebook 
had a sales team of 60 selling the idea to elected officials worldwide. Facebook 
executives barely use the site themselves, and they don't let their children use the 
site or any social media.

In other words, Facebook is evil. But you already knew that.

I will say that the undercurrent of "If Facebook would have just listened to me..." 
running throughout the book gets a little annoying towards the end. Sarah may have been 
fighting internally against Facebook's worst impulses, but ultimately, she never quit. 
She was fired.
