Meta is trying to block ex-employee’s book alleging misconduct and harassment
1 min read
Summary
An arbitrator has ruled in favour of Meta in a case brought by the company against former employee Sarah Wynn-Williams, who authored a memoir published this week alleging claims of misconduct at the company.
The arbitrator has ordered the author and publishing companies to stop publishing the book, but it is unclear whether they have the authority to do so.
The memoir, Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism, details allegations of sexual harassment, including claims by her former boss, Policy Chief Joel Kaplan.
In the decision, the arbitrator ruled that Wynn-Williams should cease making disparaging remarks against Meta and its employees and retract previous remarks.
It is currently unclear whether the arbitrator has the authority to halt future publishing of the book.
