Careless People

Shortly before release, Meta pursued private arbitration against Sarah Wynn-Williams, arguing she had violated the non-disparagement agreement she signed when she left the company. An arbitrator agreed Meta had a valid case and temporarily barred her from promoting the book or, "to the extent within her control," further publishing or distributing it while arbitration continued. The ruling didn't stop the book from being sold — Macmillan said the decision had "no impact" on its plans and continued to support it — and the publicity around the dispute helped push Careless People to number one on the New York Times bestseller list by late March 2025.

It's a memoir. Sarah Wynn-Williams writes from her own experience as Facebook's (later Meta's) director of global public policy from 2011 to 2017, recounting what she witnessed from inside the company rather than reporting as an outside journalist.
