Facebook's Broken Code is a behind-the-scenes look at its strategic failures to address its role in the spread of disinformation, political fracturing, and even genocide. The book, filled with eye-popping statistics and anecdotes from insiders, explores Facebook's manipulation tactics and the distorted way we connect online. The book highlights the company's failures to control or understand its own platforms, leading employees to discover deeper issues such as peddling anger, human trafficking, enabling drug cartels and authoritarians, and distorting behavior in ways no one understood. Despite personal trauma and professional setbacks, employees identified the root causes of Facebook's viral harms and drew up concrete plans to address them. The book highlights that the problems spawned by social media cannot be resolved by strapping on a headset.
