US Senator Accuses Meta of Trying to Destroy Whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams

Senator Josh Hawley has accused Meta of using aggressive legal tactics to silence former global head of public policy Sarah Wynn-Williams. He claims the company is relentlessly pursuing her through arbitration to bankrupt her and deter future whistleblowers who expose Meta's dealings with the Chinese government and its impact on teenagers.

Meta's efforts to destroy Ms Wynn-Williams with lawfare are a matter of grave public concern.

    It has been [0] days since the last report on nasty Meta shenanigans.

    On a related note, I believe (based on no evidence) that Zuckerberg knows of a lot more nasty dealings and wants to crucify Wynn-Williams to scare off any potential whistleblowers.

    If you loved Catch-22 you will love ”Careless people”! I warmly recommend a read. Not to support Sarah necessarily - just because the book is great! It’s not really a spill-the-tea as much absurdist escapade in corporate america.

    Ok the details on Zuckerberg and ”Lean In” Sandberg _are_ bizarre. Which makes it a super fun read.
