A shocking new book published today, titled Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life, exposes the dangerous and addictive tactics used by social media giant Meta Platforms Inc. (Meta) to keep users hooked on their platforms. The book reveals the disturbing rise in depression and suicide rates that have been linked to social media use, particularly among children and teenagers.
The release of Controligarchs comes just weeks after 42 state attorneys general (AGs) filed a lawsuit against Meta and its subsidiaries, Facebook and Instagram, for intentionally designing and deploying harmful features on their platforms to addict children and teenagers for monetary gain. California and New York are among the states involved in the lawsuit.
According to the book, billionaire creator Mark Zuckerberg’s company has a history of using aggressive tactics to keep users addicted to social media. The deliberate design of features such as notifications and likes, which trigger dopamine releases in the brain, has been compared to a “social-validation feedback loop” by Facebook’s founding president Sean Parker.
Moreover, the book delves into the recent rebranding of Facebook Inc. to Meta Platforms Inc., signaling the company’s shift towards the metaverse – a digital world that users can enter via virtual reality (VR) headsets such as the Oculus Quest. The launch of the metaverse has been criticized as a distraction from whistleblower allegations that Facebook ignored internal warnings of the negative consequences its algorithms were causing worldwide.

Despite the metaverse’s reported lack of popularity with consumers, Zuckerberg’s obsession with the virtual world shows no sign of slowing down. The book highlights Zuckerberg’s ongoing efforts to make the metaverse the most addictive product in history – an initiative that has cost the company over $36 billion.
Experts warn that the metaverse’s potential for addiction is unprecedented. The virtual world offers not only entertainment but also a wide range of consumer products, including physical and biotechnological upgrades for the human body. For instance, uncovered patent filings show that Facebook is working on bionic eyeballs, synthetic skin prototypes, and pneumatic “haptic gloves” that will allow users to feel and grasp the metaverse.
Industry giants such as Apple and Coca-Cola have expressed interest in the metaverse, with the latter releasing a new “pixel-flavored soda” that was “born in the metaverse.” The World Economic Forum (WEF) has also positioned itself as the arbiter of “best practices” for the metaverse, with over 5,000 pages devoted to the initiative on its website.
Critics argue that Facebook’s losses in the metaverse mean its failure is imminent. However, with the recent strategic partnership between Meta and Tencent, a Chinese conglomerate, experts believe that the metaverse’s ultimate success will be driven by the major corporations involved in its development.
The release of Controligarchs coincides with the ongoing lawsuits against Meta, which aim to hold Zuckerberg and his company accountable for their harmful and addictive tactics. Publicity surrounding the book has reignited debate about the negative impact of social media on young users, with studies showing an alarming rise in depression, obesity, and suicide among teenagers. Mental health advocates urge the public to take note of the dangers of social media addiction and to support measures aimed at protecting children and teenagers online.
