    My “not a book review” of Careless People – the book Facebook doesn’t want you to read.

    With highlights on Ireland’s complicity and the lengths people farmers (as I call them) will go to to appease authoritarian regimes like China.

    https://ar.al/2025/03/21/careless-people/

    It’s clear from this that Ireland should not be enforcing GDPR (not that they are) and, really, people farmers – and the business model of people farming in general – should be banned in the EU. (Don’t hold your breaths.)

      No, but I am. Nice assessment of the parts you read, and I can see why you stopped. One must consider that these "tell all" books only tell the all the author includes. At the risk of being Pollyanna, there's always a rebuttal they leave out.

      That said, Facebook is evil. People farming is evil. But bans are unpopular and hard to justify to the masses. Until they know what Facebook is doing to them personally, no one will care.

      Let's hope they read this book.

      @aral > Ireland should not be enforcing GDPR

      Is this a typo? The "not"?

      @jandi Nope. It should have its authority revoked.
