Meta Faces Backlash Over Legal Action Against Whistleblower Memoir

Sarah Wynn-Williams’ memoir, 'Careless People,' exposes alleged misconduct at Meta while the company seeks to block its promotion through arbitration.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook executive, published 'Careless People,' a memoir detailing her experiences at the company, including allegations of corporate misconduct and toxic culture.
Meta has pursued legal action, citing a violation of a non-disparagement clause, and secured a temporary arbitration ruling restricting Wynn-Williams from promoting the book.
The memoir accuses Meta leadership, including Mark Zuckerberg, of unethical practices, such as attempting to appease the Chinese government and facilitating misinformation during the 2016 U.S. election.
Wynn-Williams alleges a culture of sexual harassment and double standards within Meta, including claims against senior executives, which the company has dismissed as unfounded.
Despite Meta’s efforts to limit its reach, 'Careless People' has gained significant attention, climbing bestseller lists and sparking public debate over Big Tech's accountability.
