    Here she is next to Zuck.

    Now he is trying to destroy her.

    If you want to know what it’s like to run a social media empire, I highly recommend reading her book. It’s terrific and entertaining.

    In fact, everyone should buy her book

      Read the book. If half of what’s in it is true, these people should be put in jail for the longest time.

      Thought I knew everything when I started reading through but the levels of casual creepiness amongst the higher ups was way more than anticipated.

      Sidenote: I love seeing book recommendations on here and this time I’d actually read it already!

    Should get to the seat, wait for it to begin, pull out duck tape and put it over her mouth as she sits silent.

    Logistically it’s difficult to carry around a premeasured piece of duck tape, especially since half her clothes have no pockets, but you could tape it to your wrist inside a long loose sleeve or something. Would also make the adhesive less adhesive to your lips when it’s time to get it off.

      Wax paper generally works pretty well for transporting stickers and tape.

    This is so sad. I read her book. She’s a really good and brave person.

        She came there realising the potential of political influence and tried to turn it into a power for good. She failed, obviously.

        I think she’s a good person if a little naive.

        Haven’t read the book, but I presume that’s why she left.
