The Careless People Won
Briefly

The new memoir 'Careless People' by Sarah Wynn-Williams details Facebook's ethical failures and internal culture, generating significant controversy and legal pushback from Meta to halt its release. Despite critiques labeling it as the work of a disgruntled employee, the book debuted as a bestseller, signaling public interest. Critics, including former Facebook executives, accuse Wynn-Williams of lacking accountability and failing to provide actionable solutions. Her role as the first executive focused on global policy offers a unique viewpoint, although it raises questions about credibility within Meta's vast structure.
"The book chronicles the social network's missteps and moral bankruptcy, still making news in 2025 despite criticisms and court attempts to halt its publication."
"Critics argue that Wynn-Williams is guilty of the same sins she documents, lacking personal accountability and offering no concrete recommendations for improvement."
