Meta Exposé Author Faces Bankruptcy After Ban on Criticising Company
21st September 2025
The Guardian (UK), a Voice of the Crust.
A former Meta executive who wrote an explosive exposé making allegations about the social media company’s dealings with China and its treatment of teenagers is said to be “on the verge of bankruptcy” after publishing the book.
An MP has claimed in parliament that Mark Zuckerberg’s company was trying to “silence and punish” Sarah Wynn-Williams, the former director of global public policy at Meta’s precursor, Facebook, after her decision to speak out about her time at the company.
Louise Haigh, the former Labour transport secretary, said Wynn-Williams was facing a fine of $50,000 (£37,000) every time she breached an order secured by Meta preventing her from talking disparagingly about the company.
Imagine living in a country in which such an ‘order’ is possible. Britain effectively has no Freedom of Speech, popular delusion to the contrary notwithsanding. (It used to. But that was then, this is now. And with no analogue of the First Amendment, rights depend on the sufferance of the government of the day.)
Britain of today in what Democrats want the U.S. to be.
