SEE NO EVIL – HEAR NO EVIL – WRITE TRUTH –
Sept. 21, 2025 – Mark Zuckerberg’s company was trying to “silence and punish” Sarah Wynn-Williams, the former director of global public policy at Facebook, after her decision to speak out about her time at the company. Wynn-Williams made a series of claims about the social media company’s behaviour and culture in her book Careless People. “Meta has served a gagging order on Sarah and is attempting to fine her $50,000 for every breach of that order. She is on the verge of bankruptcy. I am sure that the whole house and the government will stand with Sarah as we pass this legislation to ensure that whistleblowers and those with the moral courage to speak out are always protected.”
It is understood that the $50,000 figure represents the damages Wynn-Williams has to pay for material breaches of the separation agreement she signed when she left Meta in 2017. Meta has emphasised that Wynn-Williams entered into the non-disparagement agreement voluntarily as part of her departure.
Meta said that to date, Wynn-Williams had not been forced to make any payments under the agreement.
