Not the story I expected to read when I picked up this book especially after reading Patricia Evangelista’s memoir but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t know anything about the widespread use and abuse of Facebook and social media in the Philippines and I was deeply disturbed with the investigations conducted by Rappler chronicling the breakdown of democracy through surveillance capitalism. Another example of why we need to regulate Big Tech and continue advocating for justice and human rights in the digital realm.

This was more of a broad memoir than a story that addressed the intracicies to standing up to a dictator.
