Meta has announced it would no longer try to police what appears on its platform, even if the material is completely false. Free speech and all that. However, the company has a different take on the book “Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed and Lost Idealism” by Sarah Wynn-Williams, who worked at what was then called Facebook from 2011 to 2017.
Ms. Williams describes sexual harassment and other inappropriate behavior at the company. Evidently a lot of that went on. Meta claims that the material in the book is prohibited under a non-disparagement contract the company makes its employees sign.
The publishing company Flatiron Books says it will continue to promote and sell the book. And from what I have heard about “tech bros,” I believe Ms. Williams.
