No Filter: The Inside Story of Instagram
by Sarah Frier
As a disclaimer, I was hesitant to pick up this book. Reading through news article about Facebook and Instagram tends to focus on dramatizing stories or taking things out of context to increase readership. I was overall positively surprised by the detailed research that Sarah Frier did for this book and as far as I can tell the accuracy of her report on the story of Instagram. I also find it valuable to hear different perspectives, some with which I agreed, some with which I disagreed. It is also interesting to see that some of the big questions around curation or relations with creators have been around all of Instagram's history without full resolution, which points to the complexity of these decisions and the varieties of pros and cons that each direction has.
