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/

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

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.

Where's a good place to buy books from not Amazon?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Powells.com, the largest independent book seller I'm aware of.

"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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

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

English has a bunch of weird rules.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day 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 ".

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

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

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