tl;dr: Meta is waging an escalating legal campaign against Sarah Wynn-Williams, author of the bestselling Facebook memoir "Careless People," using NDAs and a company-paid arbitrator to extract $50,000 per criticism (already over $11M) and silence her completely. The absurdity peaked when Meta claimed her sitting silently and motionless on stage at the Hay Festival violated her agreement, prompting her to sue to invalidate the contract. Doctorow argues Meta is willing to fuel the Streisand Effect because terrorizing Wynn-Williams sends a chilling message to thousands of recently laid-off employees who might otherwise speak out.
