EVENT DETAILS
Facebook has changed the world & it's changed us. In barely fifteen years, the simple campus website grew into the largest social media platform & one of the biggest companies in the world. With a valuation of more than $576 billion & almost 3 billion users, including those on its fully owned subsidiaries Instagram & WhatsApp, there's no denying that the tech giant has unprecedented power & resources. But the unintended consequences of a platform designed to connect us all-and a business model that relies on selling user data to keep the service free-has placed the company squarely in the middle of controversies about fake news, election interference, & security breaches.

Renowned tech journalist Steven Levy's new book, based on hundreds of interviews inside & outside the company, digs deep into the decisions & choices that made Facebook what it is today for better or worse.
