Ex-Meta executive: ‘People deserve to know what this company is really like’ | CNN Business


Meta is once again facing allegations from a former employee that a growth-at-all-costs culture has caused offline harm.

Wynn-Williams’ account also comes as Meta has sought to gain favor with the Trump administration, including by rolling back some content moderation practices and by promoting Joel Kaplan, who is featured heavily in the book, to its top policy role.
