“The ultimate takedown.” (New York Times Book Review)
Award-winning New York Times reporters Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang unveil the tech story of our times in a riveting, behind-the-scenes exposé that offers the definitive account of Facebook’s fall from grace.
Once one of Silicon Valley’s greatest success stories, Facebook has been under constant fire for the past five years, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users’ data, spreading fake news, and amplifying dangerous, polarizing hate speech.
The company, many said, had simply lost its way. But the truth is far more complex. Leadership decisions enabled, and then attempted to deflect attention from, the crises. Time after time, Facebook’s engineers were instructed to create tools that encouraged people to spend as much time on the platform as possible, even as those same tools boosted inflammatory rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and partisan filter bubbles. And while consumers and lawmakers focused their outrage on privacy breaches and misinformation, Facebook solidified its role as the world’s most voracious data-mining machine, posting record profits and shoring up its dominance via aggressive lobbying efforts.
Drawing on their unrivaled sources, Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang take listeners inside the complex court politics, alliances, and rivalries within the company to shine a light on the fatal cracks in the architecture of the tech behemoth. Their explosive, exclusive reporting led them to a shocking conclusion: The missteps of the last five years were not an anomaly, but an inevitability - this is how Facebook was built to perform. In a period of great upheaval, growth has remained the one constant under the leadership of Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Both have been held up as archetypes of uniquely 21st-century executives - he the tech “boy genius” turned billionaire, she the ultimate woman in business, an inspiration to millions through her books and speeches. But sealed off in tight circles of advisers and hobbled by their own ambition and hubris, each has stood by as their technology is co-opted by hate-mongers, criminals, and corrupt political regimes across the globe, with devastating consequences. In An Ugly Truth, they are at last held accountable.

Facebook-Hitler would be proud!

@apollo60 I’m sure he would. Facebook is a great tool for creating right wing echo chambers full of people who dismiss quantifiable facts as being ‘fake news’.

Thanks so much! Let’s hope karma would strike these two soon and make them pay for the damage they caused.

It’s clear that the Democrats (old school Nazis)give Suckerberg his marching orders don’t you think? So, I think the “tool” for creating the racist/hate echo is used by you and your left wing nuts. Pull your skirt down Jack. Your Swastika is beginning to show.

Nazi trumpers go home. Just get covid and die already. “It’s just the flu.”

@apollo60 Democrats, former Nazis LMFAO … weren’t/aren’t Nazis and A-alikes hardcore,so-far-to-the-Right if they sneezed they’d fall off Earth’s Eastern Hemisphere? Weren’t their mortal enemies after The Jews, all ‘the leftist’? 96% of self identified ‘Nazis’ etc, here in the U.S since the 1930’s to present day have been registered Republicans…so is the dominant majority of Facebook share holders. LMAO You must be one of those Russian Troll Factory employee or yet another member of the Legion of Imbeciles that researches, sources and cites his imagination to state his ‘Fauxcts’ and share his brainfarts. I blame free WiFi! down with Free WiFi!!! Lol 😂 because not even imbeciles if paying for Internet service would disuse their monthly allotted data service time they’re billed for to say such stupidity and stench up social media with their brainfarts. NOPE. it’d be used much more wisely.

honestly glad you left- and right-wing mouth-breathers are suffering of cowardice and stick to comment sections! *phewww*
because if an actual spine existed inside you disillusioned fools-the ones that are wishing death upon your own countrymen just because of political ideological differences-i shudder to think which public buildings you’d be shooting up next
