Meta Faces Backlash as Ex-Employee's Memoir Tops Bestseller List

Sarah Wynn-Williams' 'Careless People' remains a bestseller despite Meta's legal actions to suppress its promotion and public denouncements of its content.

Sarah Wynn-Williams' memoir 'Careless People' debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller list and sold 60,000 copies in its first week of release.
The book alleges misconduct by Meta executives, including claims of sexual harassment and efforts to appease Chinese government censors.
Meta secured an arbitration ruling barring Wynn-Williams from promoting the book, citing violations of a non-disparagement agreement.
Flatiron Books, the publisher, defended the memoir's publication, stating it underwent thorough editing and rejecting Meta's efforts to suppress it.
Critics argue that Meta's aggressive legal and PR tactics have unintentionally amplified interest and sales of the book.
