This book is out tomorrow and sounds like a compelling (but depressing) read. How Facebook "embedded" employees with the Trump campaign in 2016 (Clinton turned down the offer) and cozied up to the Communist party in the hopes of getting unblocked in China. How Zuckerberg was carefully coached to "lie" to Congress about China. How Joel Kaplan harassed the author when she was in critical condition after nearly dying after giving birth asking for videoconferences and asking "where she was bleeding from". And the Sheryl Sandberg stuff seems to tank her "lean in" image with some questionable behavior towards female assistants. NYT review below...

Zuckerberg’s Meta considered sharing user data with China, whistleblower alleges Meta went to extreme lengths, including developing a censorship system, in a failed attempt to bring Facebook to millions of internet users in China, according to a whistleblower complaint. |

| In other words, everyone at the top of these tech giants is Langley or Mossad? |

| Zuckerberg is suing to stop the author from promoting or selling further copies of the book. Obviously touched a nerve. Going out to buy a copy today! |

I guess Zuckerberg doesn't believe in free speech when it's critical of him. Although with all this publicity people are going to want to read it even more.
https://www.reuters.com/legal/meta-wins-halt-promotion-careless-people-tell-all-book-by-former-employee-2025-03-13/ Meta Platformon Wednesday won an emergency arbitration ruling to temporarily stop promotion of the tell-all book "Careless People" by a former employee, according to a copy of the ruling published by the social media company. The book by Meta's former director of global public policy, Sarah Wynn-Williams, was called by the New York Times book review "an ugly, detailed portrait of one of the most powerful companies in the world," and its leading executives, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, former Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan. Meta will suffer "immediate and irreparable loss" in the absence of an emergency relief, the American Arbitration Association's emergency arbitrator, Nicholas Gowen, said in a ruling after a hearing, which Wynn-Williams did not attend. Book publisher Macmillan attended and argued it was not bound by the arbitration agreement, which was part of a severance agreement between the employee and company. The ruling says that Wynn-Williams should stop promoting the book and, to the extent she could, stop further publication. It did not order any action by the publisher. |
