Meta has blocked former executive Sarah Wynn-Williams from testifying before Congress concerning the company’s relationships with China. This follows an arbitration ruling enforcing a non-disparagement clause tied to her severance package. Wynn-Williams' lawyer stated she wishes to communicate with Congress about her memoir, which triggered a Senate investigation into Meta's actions related to the Chinese Communist Party. While Meta claims that they are not obstructing her rights, questions remain on the impact of the arbitration ruling on transparency and accountability regarding Meta's past intentions in China.
Congress has made it clear they expect to be able to communicate with Ms. Wynn-Williams, and my client wishes to do so.
Meta has, however, silenced Ms. Wynn-Williams through an arbitration process, which means that she is prohibited from communicating with Congress.
We're not intending to stand in the way of her exercising her rights.
It is no secret we were once interested in doing so as part of Facebook's effort to connect the world.
