"How do bad actors exploit Facebook's design to harm and even kill innocent people? How has democracy been undermined by an internet platform that denies responsibility for its actions? In Zucked, Silicon Valley investor Roger McNamee addresses these questions and offers an insider reckoning with the catastrophic failure of one of the world's most powerful companies and the existential threat it poses to our public health and our political order ... This revised and updated paperback edition further refines McNamee's analysis, crystallizing the issues for the rest of us and detailing a plan on what we can do, individually and together, to fix the problem"--Page 4 of cover.
