Former Meta Executive Alleges Harassment and Misconduct in Explosive Memoir

Sarah Wynn-Williams accuses Meta of retaliation, ethical lapses, and misleading investors in whistleblower complaint and upcoming book.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Meta global public policy director, alleges sexual harassment by senior executive Joel Kaplan and claims her firing was retaliatory after reporting misconduct.
Her memoir, 'Careless People,' details alleged ethical failures at Meta, including compromising content moderation for growth and pursuing controversial business dealings in China.
Wynn-Williams claims Meta developed censorship tools and negotiated with Chinese officials to re-enter the Chinese market, while publicly downplaying these efforts to U.S. lawmakers.
Meta disputes the allegations, stating internal investigations cleared Kaplan of harassment and criticizing Wynn-Williams as a disgruntled former employee seeking to sell books.
The whistleblower complaint filed with the SEC accuses Meta of misleading investors about its China strategy and raises concerns about the company's broader impact on democracy and human rights.
