'Careless People' by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Meta employee, portrays the company negatively and has garnered significant media attention following Meta's attempts to prevent its promotion. Despite the company's efforts, including an emergency motion to enforce a non-disparagement agreement, the book hit No. 1 on The New York Times Bestseller list shortly after its minimally promoted release. Critics note that the controversy surrounding the book, including Meta's dismissal of it as a disgruntled account from a fired employee, only fueled public interest and supported its commercial success.
"Meta filed an emergency motion claiming that Wynn-Williams had potentially violated her non-disparagement agreement, but the book's success suggests a backfiring attempt at censorship."
"Despite objections from Meta, 'Careless People' debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times Bestseller list, illustrating the impact of publicity and censorship on sales."
