As Mark Zuckerberg has said in 2017 :

"I'm here today because I believe that we must continue to stand for free expression," he said. "You should be able to say things that other people don't like, but you shouldn't be able to say things that put people in danger."

Presumably he meant on Facebook, not on Facebook..
soco•23m ago
Also: "Don't do evil" (Google, ca 2004)

Note that she was following her lawyers advice. Not a gag order from Meta. This advice l is standard practice when you have an active litigation against you (everything you say can and will be used against you).

Edit: I stand corrected. See comment below.

pjc50•53m ago
There is apparently a court order involved:

"Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, secured an emergency legal order on the eve of publication preventing her from publicly discussing aspects of the book, and she faces fines of $50,000 (£37,000) each time she breaches the order."

chinathrow•36m ago
What kind of Judge approves such a gag order?
codeduck•32m ago
Someone with aspirations for higher office.
jjgreen•18m ago
Apparently Nicholas Gowan of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (the gag order, not the original ruling) https://securereach.net/digital-world/meta-strives-to-stifle...

One that realizes that this cannot backfire in any way. If dad asks to throw a rock at the neighbor, whats the worst that could happen?
pjc50•13m ago
One who understands the power of nondisclosure agreements.

You might find it surprising that an executive signed a long-lasting non-disparagement agreement, but obviously they wouldn't have got the job otherwise. These are a very real problem. Especially the use of NDAs to cover up gross misconduct.

(a particularly egregious example: Neil Gaiman!)

Might buy a second copy. Can always give it away.

Great book, too. Got me to finally delete my Instagram account :)

You can always tell that Zuck continues to maintain and assert his ultimate control over Meta, because only a vindictive child acts like this.

At least he's winning in Catan.
lionkor•18m ago
More like Monopoly, Catan has too many rules limiting expansion

What kind of a very sad human being must one be when you have almost all the money in the world and continue to do very stupid things with it. In my experience the people who scream and threaten the loudest kinda acknowledge the problems.
burnt-resistor•18m ago
Like spend $100B on Metaverse and AI without a plan?

I find it wild that a "justice" system allows something like this to happen. It's absolute joke.
throw1234567891•21m ago
An American system, nevertheless. The same system which attempts to institute similar rules on other nations by various sources of influence.
iso1631•12m ago
Can't be american, that's all about the freedom of speech.

Or is that only to protect nazis and the klu klux klan?

Shadow docket concierge justice for privileged people, normative justice for average people, and prerogative justice for enemies of the privileged.

This is another great reason to read her (Sarah Wynn-Williams) book Careless People.

Sitting on stage in silence is going to cause a lot more people to talk about it. Congrats to whoever came up with the idea.
niemandhier•33m ago
Could she give a multi day filibuster live on YouTube and only be fined once?
gaiagraphia•30m ago
I'm guessing they'd argue that every "aspect" discussed would be worthy of a 50k 'fine'.
soco•20m ago
Alas, a GoFundMe campaign would never gain enough traction to make fun of this fine.
iso1631•10m ago
Streisand effect is more useful.

Not that any of this matters, these people are too wealthy (and thus powerful) to bring to justice.
