Currently reading this & WHEW if there is 1 thing I'm taking away from this so far is we have really let Mark Zuckerberg fly under radar. Author is Nobel prize winning journalist; she details Facebook's corrosive effects on democracy, including how played role in electing Trump & other world leaders
The number of people who at BEST completely ignore protesters or justify their arrest and prosecution on grounds that they inconvenienced you never ceases to amaze me.
