Why is everyone beating around the bush?

Its Nick Clegg

I am making no allegation, to be clear. I was just having a bit of fun with the way I said it.

But it's obvious that Facebook want to make writing anything about them in a book and then publicising it an absolutely miserable experience.

I would say the very obvious target of such a message is Nick Clegg, no?

He's already written one memoir of his time in politics (didn't sell that well because he didn't have all that many fans left) but as a former Deputy Prime Minister in a really unusual coalition government, I think he's likely to have enough insights he will want to put in a book again by now (since it's plausible we be heading towards a coalition government involving the Lib Dems again, and he will think there are lessons to learn).

He also co-created the Facebook/Meta Oversight Board, which reported to him, and was the organisation finally constituted, ultimately, in time to de-platform Trump, which it then did.

And then he was president of global affairs.

He then left Meta shortly before it noticeably, shamefully and transactionally pivoted towards being Trump-compatible.

This is a book everyone wants to read, right? About the nexus of politics, extremism and social media.

And it won't get written.
