It seems that Meta’s campaign buries a dishyme, revealing of an old employee does not work exactly. In fact, it seems that the company’s legal maneuvers to block the book had the exact opposite effect.
Reckless made his debut on New York Times List of bestsellers. He also spent much of the week in position number three on Amazon . It is despite the fact that Sarah Wynn-Williams, former director of Facebook policies, was to promote or discuss the book publicly after a legal action in Meta.
Memoirs detail a large part of the interior operation of Facebook for almost seven years that Wynn-Williams worked there. It reveals the company’s incessant ambition to bring the social network to China, as well as many people on how Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and other leaders behaved behind closed doors. (In addition to his revelations RecklessWynn-Williams also deposited with the securities and exchange committee. This complaint was not made public, but according to NBC NewsShe alleges that Facebook has “induced” investors.)
Meta was vividly released against Wynn-Williams and the book, describing it in a press release as “a mixture of obsolete complaints and previously reported the company and false accusations concerning our leaders”. The company claims that Wynn-Williams was dismissed in 2017 “for poor performance and toxic behavior”.
Meta has initiated an arbitration procedure against Wynn-Williams last week, which led to a decision that prevents him for the moment to discuss publicly or promote work. But, as the best-sellers lists show, this decision did not do much to kill interest in work.
