Lawmakers are skeptical of Zuckerberg’s commitment to free speech

Summary
Meta has been trying to stop the publication and promotion of Careless People, a book penned by ex-employee Sarah Wynn-Williams that claims the company was willing to collaborate with the Chinese government, and allegedly allow Beijing to suppress dissidents.
Wynn-Williams told a Senate Judiciary subcommittee that Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, was willing to “undermine American national security” by prioritising cooperation with Beijing.
She said of Zuckerberg: “He’s a man who wears many different costumes.
It’s whatever gets him closest to power”.
Senators criticised Zuckerberg for not testifying himself, and accused the company of trying to silence Wynn-Williams.
