Meta secretly helped China advance AI, ex-Facebooker will tell Congress


Meta whistleblower can testify to Congress despite gag order on press interviews.

In 2019, Mark Zuckerberg gave a speech admitting that Facebook never reached an agreement with China "on what it would take for us to operate there, and they never let us in," NBC News noted. "While Mark Zuckerberg himself was public about our interest in offering our services in China and details were widely reported beginning over a decade ago, the fact is this: We do not operate our services in China today," Stone said. Wynn-Williams said that her testimony comes in defiance of an arbitrator's order to cease promoting her book about her nearly seven years at Facebook and retract claims that were "disparaging, critical, or otherwise detrimental" to Meta, NBC News noted.
