from piffle pod · host Piffle Productions

Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams goes beyond Facebook’s internal culture to reveal the platform’s global impact, from political influence to real-world harm. In Part 2, we dive into how Facebook shaped events around the world in the 2010s, including its role in the genocide against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, its attempts to negotiate entry into China, and its influence on the 2016 US election. We also unpack the backlash to Careless People, discuss Mark Zuckerberg toying with the idea of running for US President, and share an update on the ongoing social media addiction trial against Meta in Los Angeles. This episode wraps up our two-part series on Careless People, connecting the dots between what was happening inside Facebook and the real-world consequences still felt today.

Women have often had to navigate systems of oppression, from fighting for basic rights such as the ability to vote and receive education to battling against cultural norms that confine them to traditional roles. Despite making significant strides toward equality, many women still face issues like discrimination in the workplace, gender-based violence, and unequal access to healthcare. These struggles are compounded by the weight of balancing professional aspirations with family responsibilities, as well as the continuous pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty and behavior. Nonetheless, women continue to demonstrate resilience, courage, and leadership in overcoming these adversities and advocating for a more just and equal society.
