Sarah Wynn-Williams

Sarah Wynn-Williams is a former senior executive at Meta (formerly Facebook) who has recently released a memoir titled "Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism". In the book, she provides a critical account of Meta's corporate culture, its handling of misinformation, and its role in significant global events like the 2016 US presidential election and the violence in Myanmar. Before joining Meta, Wynn-Williams had a career in diplomacy and international law. She served as a policy adviser in the New Zealand government and managed the political affairs and government relations office at the New Zealand embassy in Washington, DC. At Meta, she worked as the Director of Public Policy, focusing on global public policy in regions such as Latin America, Canada, and the Asia-Pacific. Wynn-Williams' book and subsequent testimony before the U.S. Senate have sparked controversy, with her accusing Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg of being willing to censor content to gain access to the Chinese market. She also lodged a 78-page complaint with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), alleging that the company misled investors.
