When I was a rebellious teenager, my sister returned home from college and moved in with my parents. I was adamant that I would never do the same. I swore that I would graduate from university with $10,000, giving myself the freedom to NOT move back home. When all my siblings told me I was crazy, that just fueled my desire. I don't like being told that I can't do something. I was thinking about that story last week when I learned that Meta and Facebook were trying to ban Careless People. Their attempted ban of the book fueled my desire to read it even more. Last week, they successfully stopped Sarah Wynn Williams from being able to publicize or distribute it herself. Yet, the book is topping bestseller lists. Clearly, I am not alone in my response. People with power will always try to use that power to silence "enemies." We're seeing it right now in record numbers. That's why I think it's important to seek out and listen to the voices of those whom the powerful are trying to silence. If you want an inside look at one of the world's most influential companies, please have a read or listen. You may turn your back on Meta forever. You may think it's a bunch of hyperbole. Whatever you think, is up to you. P.S. If you're curious, I did, in fact, graduate with $10,000, proceeded to travel the world where I blew it all, and moved back in my parents. 🤣 Originally posted on LinkedIn with comments.
