Summary The extraordinary inside story of how Instagram took over the world. In April 2012, Facebook spent $715 million buying out a photo app that was less than two years old. Everyone in Silicon Valley thought it was crazy. Ten years later, and Instagram has a value of over $100 billion. In No Filter, Bloomberg's Sarah Frier tells the remarkable inside story of how Instagram became the hottest website on Earth. She explores the company's unlikely acquisition by Facebook, and the internal clashes over whether it could retain its autonomy. And she reveals how, when Facebook entered a tailspin brought about by data misuse and fake news, it was Instagram that came to the rescue. But this is not just a Silicon Valley story. No Filter reveals how Instagram has transformed global society -- creating a new kind of celebrity, the 'influencer', with unprecedented control over how we all buy; becoming home not only to photos of pets and holidays, but also to bullies, racists, and conspiracy theorists; and helping create a world in which a handful of tech companies have unprecedented control over how we all shop and think. The result is a book that raises profound questions about how technology is changing the world. Is Instagram really just another photo website? Or might it represent the future of every business on Earth?
