The memoir 'Careless People' by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Meta employee, has surged to No. 5 on Amazon's Best Sellers list, despite an arbitrator's order halting its promotion. Initially ranked No. 81, the book's rise highlights the so-called Streisand effect, where attempts to censor attract more attention. Wynn-Williams, who was fired from Meta in 2017, shares her experiences with CEO Mark Zuckerberg and claims about the company’s dealings with China. The ongoing legal battle adds tension to the memoir's growing notoriety, as it also leads its categories in rankings.
"Careless People, written by former Meta employee Sarah Wynn-Williams, is rising on Amazon's Best Sellers rankings even as an arbitrator orders her to stop promoting it."
"Meta's spokesperson applauded the emergency ruling, saying it affirmed that the 'false and defamatory book should never have been published.'"
"Despite the legal pushback, the book has soared in rankings, indicating a possible Streisand effect where attempts to suppress it have only drawn more attention."
"Wynn-Williams's Careless People offers an insider's view of Meta, detailing both her experiences and critical perceptions of executives like Zuckerberg and Sandberg."
