Ex-Facebook employee to tell Congress the company undermined U.S. national security
Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former director of global public policy at Facebook, is set to testify before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee on Wednesday. Meta has disputed her account.
Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Facebook employee who alleged misconduct and sexual harassment at the company in a memoir published last month, will testify before Congress on Wednesday that Meta executives undermined U.S. national security and briefed Chinese officials on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
