Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Meta employee, has written a memoir titled \”Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism\” She describes a \”rotten company culture\” under Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and former COO Sheryl Sandberg. The book portrays the two executives as \”callously indifferent\” to the consequences others faced for their personal gain. Meta responded to the book, stating, \”We haven’t seen the book. This former employee was terminated in 2017 and an investigation at that time found she made false claims\” The book’s release was closely guarded, with Flatiron announcing it less than a week before publication, and Amazon initially listing it as \”Untitled-Flatiron-Author-Revealed-March\” It is described as a \”deeply personal account\” of Meta’s leadership and culture, revealing \”previously unreported lengths\” Zuckerberg went to in order to convince the Chinese Communist Party to allow Meta to operate in China, including providing briefings on AI, developing censorship tools with the CCP, and concealing this cooperation from Congress. In a 2019 speech at Georgetown University, Mark Zuckerberg said Meta’s absence from China was due to its refusal to comply with the country’s censorship demands. \”I wanted our services in China because I believe in connecting the whole world,\” he said. \”But we could never agree on what it would take to operate there, and they never let us in.\”
