How the fuck is an anti-disparagement clause even allowed to exist and how the fuck is it enforceable 8 years after she no longer works for the company, that's absolutely bullshit.
Normally I would hope for the government to step in and say this is not remotely legal. But unfortunately our government is currently in the hands of billionaire buddy Donnie F Trump.
Barnes and Noble has it. don't buy from amazon.
Even better, buy it through bookshop.org and also support a local bookstore: https://bookshop.org/p/books/careless-people-a-cautionary-tale-of-power-greed-and-lost-idealism/22213433
The hard cover is on back order, but they sell an ebook version.

Thanks! Should be fixed!
Funniest thing, I would’ve never known about this book if Meta hadn’t tried to block the sales of it. Definitely going to read it and see how it is.
Just ordered my copy!
And not from Amazon.
Where's a good place to buy books from not Amazon?
go into a local bookstore and ask them
Powells.com, the largest independent book seller I'm aware of.
Barnes and noble has it. Also, try thriftbooks.com.

"Book from a whistleblower - titled 'Meta' - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon"
Sometimes I hate the whole "proper prose title" that articles use
Edit:
Perhaps it's "Book from whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon".
I didn't read the article. The title broke my brain
Heck, prose aside, is there something wrong with commas?
It's just that punctuation is not meant to be used in titles.
English has a bunch of weird rules.
Those are used to replace "and" obviously.
"Book from a whistleblower - titled 'Meta' - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon"
No? "Book from a whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon ".
Book from a whistleblower, that Meta blocked from being promoted, is now a best seller on Amazon
Book from a whistleblower—which Meta blocked from being promoted—is now a best seller on Amazon.
Meta promotes books?
Updated the comment
Barbara strikes again!
I wonder if we could get Barbara to endorse or at least comment on this book on whatever social media she's on.
Streisand! Streisand! Streisand!
