Ex-Facebook Executive Alleges Meta’s Dubious Deals and Awkward Diplomacy

Sarah Wynn-Williams' memoir accuses Meta of compromising ethics in China and reveals Mark Zuckerberg's strained encounters with world leaders.

  • Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook executive, claims in her memoir 'Careless People' that Meta explored sharing user data and developing censorship tools to enter the Chinese market.
  • The book alleges that Mark Zuckerberg’s attempts to meet Xi Jinping were blocked by a 'human wall' of security guards during the 2016 APEC summit in Lima, Peru.
  • Wynn-Williams recounts several awkward diplomatic interactions involving Zuckerberg, including a tense meeting with New Zealand's prime minister and a misstep with Colombia's president at a media event.
  • Meta has denied the allegations, stating that Wynn-Williams was fired in 2017 for poor performance and toxic behavior, and has announced legal action against the book's publisher.
  • The memoir also highlights claims of a toxic workplace culture at Meta and raises questions about the company's ethical practices in global markets.
