Reminder that Mark Zuckerberg really really really wants you not to read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. So, obviously, whatever you do, don't read it or little Mark will get upset. #Censorship https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/may/31/meta-legal-action-forces-facebook-whistleblower-to-stay-silent-at-hay-festival

  • @luciedigitalni@aus.social I oddly have little worries for billionaire's feelings. I mean, I don't want them to do bad things, but honestly if they can't take that people are rude, then... why would I care? I doubt anyone is really being rude really. At least not anything I'd call rude, but apparently Finnish folk songs have bad words in them. Heck, so do American ones.

    @luciedigitalni@aus.social Actually I don't need to read it to know that in a just world Zuckerberg would be in jail for life and all his websites and products shut down. Also that US law makers are responsible for the toxic landscape that gives corporations more rights than people and refuses to properly regulate them. "Libertarian" politics and "Liberal" economics lead to Fascist Capitalism treating people as things, like slaves, and serfs.

    @luciedigitalni@aus.social is anybody aware of translations of this book? There is quite a bit of material in English that elaborates on Meta's problems, but I observe that people that do not speak English are much less aware of these problems. I guess the gag order prevents the author from pursuing that it gets translated :(

    Introducing the panel, Cadwalladr said: “I think this might be a Hay first, in which we have an author in a hostage situation. Blink once if you can hear us, Sarah, twice if [Mark] Zuckerberg is an asshole.” 🤣 I don't want to read about Mark's great accomplishments in lawbreaking, but can I purchase 700 copies of the book to be delivered to his doorstep?
