    That new book by the ex-Facebook employee is a good glimpse into the mind of a terminal liberal. She mentions China in the introduction which I thought was odd because Facebook never operated in China and if you count the evils that Facebook has done, which are countless btw, is China really that important that it should be mentioned in your introduction?

    So I ctrl F China to see what her point of view was. Turns out she is mad that Zucc and other execs were willing to negotiate with China rather being a tool for regime change. She talks about a phone call with another employee who asks her if Zucc should take credit for the Arab Spring. She says that her answer depends on Facebook’s policy towards, because taking credit for it would make it difficult to make inroads in China because it would mean that Facebook facilitates “people’s revolutions” (yeah she called Arab Spring that).

    She completely refuses to understand why Zucc want to do business in China. The fact that China is not only the second largest country but also moderately prosperous with a mind boggling consumer base for Facebook is something she never contends. She is just mad about the ethical implications of bowing down to CCP’s demands. Like its their divinely ordained duty to topple “authoritarian regimes” around the world.
