Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is suing publisher Macmillan Books over a tell-all by former employee Sarah Wynn-Williams. The book alleges misconduct by high-profile executives and was halted by a judge due to a non-disparagement agreement. This legal action has drawn attention to the contradictions in Zuckerberg's recent calls for freer expression on the platform, illustrating the novel dynamic between censorship attempts and public curiosity. Coined the Streisand effect, the lawsuit may have only amplified interest in Wynn-Williams's revelations of workplace culture and controversies at Facebook during her tenure from 2011 to 2017.
If you told me that Facebook was suing the publisher of that book to prevent the sales and promotion of that book, I would buy that book as soon as possible and devour it from cover to cover.
Meta has sued publisher Macmillan Books and their subsidiary Flatiron Books over former employee Sarah Wynn-Williams's new book. Wynn-Williams worked at Facebook from 2011 to 2017.
Still, Meta won Round One of this lawsuit, as the New York Times reports that a judge ruled that the publisher must stop promotions and sales of the book.
This is from the same Mark Zuckerberg who's been recently saying It's time to get back to our roots around free expression.
