A former Facebook employee claims that Meta executives repeatedly violated US national security. She alleges that Meta shared sensitive information in order to “build an $18 billion business in China”.
Emerging technologies
According to Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook employee, Meta officials allegedly shared sensitive information about emerging technologies with Chinese officials.
A threat
She considers that these informations may have constituted a threat to the national security of the United States.
Inside the company
Williams exposed these accusations in a recently published book, where she not only denounces these serious facts, but also mentions inappropriate behavior and harassment that she claims to have suffered within the company led by Mark Zuckerberg.
Congress' attention
However, it’s the accusations made in his memoirs about potentially sensitive information that Meta allegedly shared with China on several occasions that caught the attention of Congress, to the point of leading to his being summoned as a witness.
Sensitive information
According to NBC News, which would have had access to Sarah Wynn-Williams’ prepared statements, she claims that Meta would have shared sensitive information with China.
$18 billion company
The goal would have been, according to her, to build an $18 billion company in this country.
The biggest secret
Williams claims that Meta would have carried out its activities with the Chinese Communist Party in the biggest secret.
The Truth
She also claims that the company would have lied about it, hiding the truth from employees, shareholders, Congress, and the American public.
Since 2015
According to Williams, who worked at Facebook from 2011 to 2017, the company could have started informing China since 2015.
