And trust me, this one doesn’t pull any punches. 💥Sarah isn’t just another commentator. She’s a New Zealand lawyer, a sharp public policy expert, and more importantly, someone who spent years deep inside the halls of power at Facebook — now Meta. She worked at the intersection of technology, politics, and global responsibility. She was there when history was being made… and when ethics were quietly being shelved. 🕵️‍♀️💻🌍"Careless People" is not just a memoir. It's a whistleblower’s diary, a deeply personal reflection, and a wake-up call. Sarah takes us inside the boardrooms, the backchannels, and even the backstabbing. From Facebook’s role in the Rohingya genocide to internal cover-ups, toxic culture, and chilling allegations about Mark Zuckerberg’s willingness to censor content for market access — this book lays it all out.And then… Meta tried to silence her. But instead? The world listened louder. 📢🔥By the end of March 2025, it soared to number one on the New York Times bestseller list, and Sarah was called to testify before the U.S. Senate. That’s not just a story — that’s a reckoning.So here's what I’m asking you today…🤔 What happens when the people shaping our digital future forget the values that made it worth building in the first place?Massive thanks to Sarah Wynn-Williams and Macmillan for making this gripping book open access so more readers can learn the truth without a paywall. 🙏📖If you found today’s episode powerful, enlightening, or just plain mind-blowing — don’t forget to subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify and our YouTube channel Weekend Researcher.
