That new book by the ex-Facebook employee is a good glimpse into the mind of a terminal liberal. She mentions China in the introduction which I thought was odd because Facebook never operated in China and if you count the evils that Facebook has done, which are countless btw, is China really that important that it should be mentioned in your introduction?
So I ctrl F China to see what her point of view was. Turns out she is mad that Zucc and other execs were willing to negotiate with China rather being a tool for regime change. She talks about a phone call with another employee who asks her if Zucc should take credit for the Arab Spring. She says that her answer depends on Facebook’s policy towards, because taking credit for it would make it difficult to make inroads in China because it would mean that Facebook facilitates “people’s revolutions” (yeah she called Arab Spring that).
She completely refuses to understand why Zucc want to do business in China. The fact that China is not only the second largest country but also moderately prosperous with a mind boggling consumer base for Facebook is something she never contends. She is just mad about the ethical implications of bowing down to CCP’s demands. Like its their divinely ordained duty to topple “authoritarian regimes” around the world.
All China wanted was for FB to remove terrorist content. She sounds like a fed.
Is this the alleged Facebook whistleblower? That was definitely an operation to get even more control of Facebook
It’s this book: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html
‘Careless People,’ by Sarah Wynn-Williams
so she basically grifting right, read an interview and she is mad about companies making concessions to the CPC to be able to enter their market lmao. especially now that zucc went mask off republican, i think she is just catering to the democrat base trying to make a quick buck.
Yeah this is as naked as a grift gets. She worked in a top position in a blatantly evil corpo for some seven years. Anyone with a shred of conscience would not be able to last a day in her shoes.
