    I finished Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams. As bad as I thought Facebook was, it was actually worse. It was an awful but fascinating read.

    The one thing that stood out to me was how the author seemingly failed to grasp that she is just as bad as all these other people at Facebook she was writing about. There was zero self reflection or admission of her massive part in making Facebook what it is today (she was Director of Global Public Policy). From the way the book is written, if she was called out on her part in Facebook’s rise I would expect a Nuremberg defence.
