Oh dear Meta, don’t you understand how the digital world works⁠?

from Enrique Dans for dummies · host 1197109420

Enrique Dans' article criticizes Meta's attempt to suppress a book titled "Careless People" by former employee Sarah Wynn-Williams. The author argues this action exemplifies a pattern of Meta trying to silence criticism instead of addressing its issues. Dans believes this censorship effort will backfire in the digital age, increasing public interest in the book, a phenomenon known as the Streisand Effect. He views Meta's behavior as that of a company desperately trying to hide its wrongdoings. Ultimately, Dans suggests that transparency and accountability are the appropriate responses for companies like Meta in the current information landscape. He encourages readers to support the author and her book as a form of protest against Meta's actions.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «Oh dear Meta, don’t you understand how the digital world works?»
