Meta blocks Sarah Wynn-Williams from promoting her memoir

Sarah Wynn-Williams is a former employee of Facebook, now known as Meta. She has recently made headlines by publishing a memoir titled "Careless People," which includes serious allegations against the company. Meta has taken legal action to prevent her from promoting the book, claiming it contains false and defamatory statements. Wynn-Williams served as the global public policy director at Facebook, where she worked closely with high-profile figures like Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. In her memoir, she discusses issues such as sexual harassment and human rights failures she claims to have witnessed during her time at the company. Originally from New Zealand, Wynn-Williams has a strong educational background. She has worked with the United Nations and holds degrees in political science and law. After joining Facebook in 2011, she focused on markets in Latin America, Canada, and the Asia-Pacific region. Meta's spokesperson stated that they believe the book should never have been published. In response, the publisher, Macmillan, emphasized their commitment to freedom of speech and Wynn-Williams's right to share her story, despite the legal challenges.
