Read by Sheera Frenkel, Cecilia Kang, Holter Graham.
In November 2018, the New York Times published a bombshell in-depth investigation that exposed, with disturbing insider detail, how leadership decisions at Facebook enabled, and then tried to cover up, massive privacy breaches and Russian meddling in the 2016 election. The investigation's lead reporters, Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang spent eighteen months piecing together the story of how one of the most powerful companies in the world tried to bury a damning truth: that Facebook has become a conduit for disinformation, hate speech, and political propaganda. This is the definitive story of Facebook's fall from grace, following the embattled company from 2011, when its power and positive influence was undisputed, to 2020, when it will face its biggest test yet: the US presidential election. What are the ultimate ramifications when a few individuals are in charge of the technology used by half the world's population?
