Last week, I read Sarah Wynn-Williams’ Careless People and was reminded of Carl Jung’s Everyman archetype — someone who fears being left out, and often compromises their morals in order to belong. Chapter after chapter, Wynn-Williams details the extraordinary recklessness of Meta’s most senior leadership as the company transformed Facebook from a social media platform to the world’s most influential political tool.
I worked at Facebook, now Meta, for three years, leading policy from one of its regional offices, and witnessed some of the leadership practices that Wynn-Williams describes, though our tenures did not overlap. What struck me is that what isn’t included in Careless People is more telling than what is.
