Arizona Rep. Abraham Hamadeh (R-Arizona): A whistleblower’s allegations “raise urgent questions” about Meta’s cooperation with foreign governments.
Hamadeh was responding to a Washington Post report
earlier this week about an SEC whistleblower complaint filed by Meta’s
former global policy director, Sarah Wynn-Williams, who alleges that the
social media giant developed a censorship version of Facebook in 2015,
allowingfor a “chief editor” who would decide what content to remove or even shut down the entire site during times of “social unrest.”

An
Arizona Republican is urging Meta to be more transparent about its
effort to win the approval of the Chinese Communist Party to implement a
censored version of Facebook in the Chinese market.
Rep.
Abraham Hamadeh (R-Arizona) wrote a letter dated Friday urging Meta CEO
Mark Zuckerberg to clarify the level of oversight the company was
willing to give the CCP over social media content to realize its goal of
entering the Chinese market.
An emergency arbitrator this week temporarily prohibited
Wynn-Williams from promoting her book, “Careless People: A Cautionary
Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism,” which was released Tuesday.
The arbitrator found that Wynn-Williams probably violated a
non-disparagement agreement when she released the book, which offered a
critical insider’s look at the actions ofthesocial media company’s top executives.
