Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former executive at Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook), has filed a lawsuit against the tech giant for attempting to restrict her from speaking about the company and promoting her bestselling memoir, 'Careless People.' The lawsuit, submitted in federal court in Northern California, argues that Meta's private arbitration order and non-disparagement agreement violate her rights. Wynn-Williams served as director of global public policy from 2011 to 2017 and her memoir alleges unethical behavior by CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other executives, including efforts to win favor with Chinese officials. Meta contends that Wynn-Williams breached the agreement by publishing an inaccurate book. The lawsuit also reveals Meta's surveillance of Wynn-Williams over the past year, including attendance at her public appearances and photographing her at events where she did not mention Meta or her book. The lawsuit claims that Meta is suppressing free speech and using legal means to intimidate anyone who might expose their alleged unlawful practices in the public interest.
