Sarah Wynn-Williams' memoir 'Careless People' faced significant backlash from Meta following its publication, including efforts to undermine its accuracy and a non-disparagement ruling against her. Despite Meta's attempts to diminish her work and a demand letter to her publisher, the controversy has led to a boost in sales and library holds, indicating that Meta's response may have inadvertently heightened interest and visibility for the book.
The day after publication, an arbitrator issued an interim ruling finding that 'Wynn-Williams violated a non-disparagement clause in her severance agreement,' effectively restricting her ability to promote her book.
The Washington Post's Book World critic noted that a Meta spokesperson persistently sought information about review plans, highlighting the unusual level of scrutiny from the tech giant.
