Brief Summary

The company Facebook was designed with the underlying strategy to move fast and to break rules, which was demonstrated many times over the years Sarah worked with the company in the policy division to increase their users. The work culture that employees endured offered them no personal lives and was full of nepotism and inappropriate behavior.

The presidential campaign that promoted misinformation and targeted Trump support was a turning point for Facebook in 2016, as they had denied any political engagement previously. Then Facebook further declined in its ethical behavior by falsely testifying that user data was being kept safe in China.

Sarah Wynn-Williams is now known as the highest-ranking whistleblower from Facebook.

Great product. Have used them for a long time. One of my favorite things about them is that they are able to summarize a whole book into just 10 minutes.
