Wynn-Williams’ critiques aren’t limited to Zuckerberg. She describes the working culture under Sandberg as so intense that Wynn-Williams felt pressured to send her talking points while in labor, her feet in stirrups. “Open dissent isn’t an option with Sheryl,” Wynn-Williams writes, arguing that people “actively hide bad news or situations” from the executive in fear of being punished.
Kaplan comes off badly too. Per the book, he blocked Wynn-Williams’ hire of a human rights expert to focus on Myanmar, where Facebook, in its own words, didn’t do “enough to help prevent our platform from being used to foment division and incite offline violence.” Beginning in 2016, Myanmar’s army massacred thousands of Muslim Rohingyas, and hundreds of thousands more fled the country, with incendiary Facebook posts and groups fanning the flames of violence. Per Wynn-Williams’ account, the company didn’t have nearly enough Burmese-speaking content moderators.
“It wasn’t because of some grander vision or any malevolence toward Muslims in the country,” she wrote. “Nor a lack of money. My conclusion: It was just that Joel, Elliot [Schrage], Sheryl, and Mark didn’t give a f—k.”[/quote]
