Sarah Wynn-Williams last week released “Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism,” a book that describes a series of incendiary allegations of sexual harassment and other inappropriate behavior by senior executives during her tenure at the company. Meta pursued arbitration, arguing that the book is prohibited under a nondisparagement contract she signed as a global affairs employee.
haha Streisand effect go brrrr
Freedom of speech for me, not for thee.
Then again, corporations are the real citizens.

I feel like in the current climate, a lot more people need to be adhering to the doctrine of go fuck yourself.
“But we had the ARBITER say you COULD NOT”
“Yeah good luck with that”
“We will SUE you and RUIN you”
“Hey I’m doing a gofundme then good luck with all your stuff, people definitely know about my book now.”
Fine, you take it off the shelves and I’ll just torrent it. Nobody should be able to stop me from doing that as long as I don’t seed it, right Meta?
The book is a “mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives,” a Meta spokesman, Andy Stone, said in a statement.
Asshole implying misdeeds can only be reported on once, and they must be recent, otherwise they just don’t count? Fuck off…
Heh, saw it already in some places 🏴☠️ so Streisand effect is in full force, good!
Also available on Kobo (Canadian Company) as an e-book. It does contain Adobe DRM though, so you would need to remove that with Calibre if you want to keep it on other devices.
Is it DRM-free on bookshop?
Strictly for research purposes … right?
More like “I’m not paying for DRM books”. If they want my money, they can sell a non-DRM book. I buy those all the time.
Can it be worse than genocide in Myanmar? Because meta fucking did that.
You got any more info on that? I’ve not heard of Meta’s involvement there but it sadly wouldn’t surprise me
