“When you have so many other people doing things for you professionally and personally, you stop taking responsibility for any of it.” We all know that Facebook doesn't really care about helping people or making the world a better place. It's common knowledge that they continue to look the other way on dangerous and harmful things and in fact contribute to the problem in the name of selling ads. no surprise there. It's all the personal trauma that the author went through that had me clapping my hand over my mouth. “My conclusion: It was just that Joel, Elliot, Sheryl, and Mark didn’t give a fuck.”

Reads like a juicy diary. She isn’t perfect and admits to that. Scary to see behind the veil.

This is good information to know about how social media platforms are used and integrate in our lives. I commend the author for coming forward with her story. Every day people can connect with this book as we all have the dream of getting the perfect job and changing the world for the better. Unfortunately as we all know, life doesn’t work that way.
