Faithfulness to a book is not an index of quality in a film adaptation.
A movie is a different beast.
Degrees of fidelity to source material are just that: degrees of fidelity. It doesn't link to how good (or bad) the cinema experience is.
"I've read the book!" is often why we bring up faith.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I'm sure many people have mentioned this, but I think it needs to be mentioned again: women do not have yearbooks. Children do. Because yearbooks contain photos of high school students. Or younger.
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them
