This triggers my cautionary nerve a bit. I think it is important to recognize that she wants to sell a book.

I am not saying she isn't doing this because she has a cause. I am also not saying she is lying or anything.

But if you sell a book you can't deny that there might be a conflict of interest. Potentially she paints things more extreme than they really were.



What makes more money, working at Facebook in an executive role or putting out a book that people might hear about but almost certainly won't buy?

I don't see these types of books as business opportunities.


Selling an exaggerated or untrue story about powerful people also opens one up to expensive legal processes and consequences.
