Meta Faces Global Scrutiny Over Gag Order Silencing Whistleblower
Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook executive, is barred from speaking publicly or with lawmakers about allegations detailed in her memoir, including Meta's ties to China and workplace misconduct.
- Whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams alleges Meta's gag order prevents her from responding to requests from lawmakers in the U.S., U.K., and EU.
- Her memoir, 'Careless People,' details claims of Meta's ties to China, harm to teen users, and sexual harassment involving a top executive.
- Meta has dismissed the memoir as outdated and containing false accusations, while defending its legal actions.
- The gag order stems from an arbitration ruling related to a non-disparagement agreement Wynn-Williams signed upon leaving Meta in 2017.
- The case has drawn significant attention from global legislative bodies and the public, raising concerns about corporate accountability and whistleblower suppression.
