Meta is trying to bury a narrated book


It was Meta itself who first told me about the new book that Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and the alleged bankrupt morals of their company attacked. On March 7, a Meta Pr -Person contacted me to ask if I heard of it Careless people, An assumed decline from the company that would be released within a few days. I didn’t. No one at Meta has read the book yet, but the Comms section has already decomposed it proactively and issued a statement that the author was a former employee who was ‘terminated’ in 2017.

My first thought was Wow, I have to read this book! And in fact, I did it, and devoured it at night once it was published. With the benefit of attention from the complaints of Meta, I suspect Caring people can be a must-read. Meta-the-company that promotes itself as an avatar of free speech-has successfully convinced an arbitrator to successfully successfully make author Sarah Wynn-Williams, who was a director of the Meta’s managers. The ruling, relying on an NDA signed after Wynn-Williams was fired, demands that she stop promoting the book, do everything in her power to stop its publication, and withdraw all remarks “condescending, critically or otherwise adversely” over Meta. This is almost the whole book. Wynn-Williams, who registered with the SEC as a whistleblower, did not attend the hearing and does not appear to respect it. While I write it, Caring people is now the third best sales book on Amazon.

The meta-friendly “emergency” decision of the arbitrator was the highlight of an intense campaign against the book that broke out as soon as the company looked at it. Even when I was the pages of Caring peopleMy inbox was fat with shipping of Meta. “Her book is a mix of old claims and false accusations about our managers,” said a company spokesman. They characterize her shooting because of “poor performance and toxic behavior”. They call her “a dissatisfied activist trying to sell books.” Meanwhile, the current and former social media employees have commented on the malignant managers.

If the news is so old, one might ask why the meta-nucleus is going on Wynn-Williams? For one thing, the author was a senior manager who was in the room, and on the corporate jet, when things happened – and she claimed that things were worse than we thought. Yes, the reckless disregard for Meta in Myanmar, where people died in riots caused by wrong information on Facebook, were previously reported, and the company has since apologized. But the storytelling of Wynn-Williams paints a picture where Meta’s leaders simply don’t care much about the dangers there. While the media wrote about Zuckerberg’s obsession to get Facebook in China, Wynn-Williams shares official documents showing that Meta is instructing the Chinese government on recognition and AI, saying that the company’s behavior was so scandalous that the team made headlines to show what the company had to handle if their plans leaked. One example: “Zuckerberg will stop nothing to get to China.” While the blanket makes statements that the book cannot be trusted, Meta did not deny all these allegations specifically. (Generally, when a company tries to reject the charges as ‘old news’, which amounts to a confirmation.)

In the context of what we already know about Meta, nothing is what Wynn-Williams says about the actions and actions of the business. Caring people is not an investigative job, but a memoir, with the narrative thread the perceived feeling of the leaders of the business. Given this personal focus, it is no wonder that it does not Caring peopleThe most memorable moments do not come from the substandard corporate morals of Meta, but gossip gossiping anecdotes of misconduct on the corporate aircraft or at luxury hotels. Despite the lofty F. Scott Fitzgerald title reference, read a large part of the book like a great technology -theme of White lotus. Wynn-Williams says that Sheryl Sandberg put her under pressure to share a bed in the air, that the chief officer of the Global Affairs of Meta, Joel Kaplan, called her ‘sultry’ and smiled against her while his father dance had a corporate haven. (This led her to submit a allegation of sexual harassment that, according to Meta, was now ‘misleading and unfounded’.) Mark Zuckerberg also thinks Andrew Jackson was the biggest president because he “did things”.

Can She is trusted? Meta calls Wynn-Williams an unreliable narrator, and she is definitely self-evident. I tend to think that she doesn’t make up things, but to carry events in the least favorable light for her subjects and the most favorable light for herself. And although she may not admit it, she is also one of the carefree people. According to her own version, she was the Susan Collins of Facebook’s policy team, who wrapped her hands over morally dubious practices, and sometimes offered objections – but eventually went with the stream. She says she has escaped for years, but could not afford to leave the work and the medical cover because of her serious health issues. Since she was a corporate director who earned many millions of dollars in compensation, and California including conditions for private health insurance, this is not true. She sits around until she is canned. At the time, according to her own account, she slowly walked her efforts because she disagreed with the policy of her bosses.
