Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook policy director and author of 'Careless People,' is scheduled to testify at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing. This represents her first public comments since Meta began emergency arbitration as a response to the book's release. The testimony will address serious allegations against Facebook regarding its collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party to develop censorship tools and compromise user data. Wynn-Williams previously filed whistleblower complaints with federal agencies about misconduct, adding to the controversy surrounding Facebook's international operations.
In her book, Careless People, Wynn-Williams recounts Meta executives' interactions with world leaders and government officials as Facebook's influence expanded globally in the early 2010s.
Wynn-Williams will testify about allegations that Facebook cooperated with the Communist regime in China to build censorship tools, punish dissidents, and make American users' data available for Chinese use.
We do not operate our services in China today. It is no secret we were once interested in doing so as part of Facebook's effort to connect the world.”
Prior to her book's publication, Wynn-Williams also filed whistleblower complaints with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice about alleged misconduct at the company.
