Did Zuckerberg 'Betray' US? Whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams makes Shocking Revelations
Share
As per authentic reports published, Meta Whistleblower, Sarah Wynn-Williams has made shocking revelations regarding CEO Mark Zuckerberg, alleging him of working 'hand in gloves with the Chinese indulgence.
Whistleblowing is the act of an individual, often an employee, revealing information about activity within a private or public organization that is considered illegal, unethical, unlawful, unsafe, or fraudulent.
Sarah has alleged that Zuckerberg expanded Meta's business to USD 18 billion in China. In a shocking development, former Meta executive Sarah Wynn-Williams, who has come forward as a whistleblower, has accused the tech giant and CEO Mark Zuckerberg of undermining US national security to expand the company's presence in China.
As per certain reports, during a US Senate hearing, Williams alleged Meta made decisions that allowed China to access American user data as well as built custom censorship tools that helped the Chinese government suppress dissenting voices in the country.
In her opening remarks, while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, Williams said, "I saw Meta executives repeatedly undermine U.S. national security and betray American values."
She went on to claim that Zuckerberg, while denying Meta's involvement in China, secretly expanded the company's business to USD 18 billion.
Zuckerberg's greatest trick was to "wrap the American flag around himself and say he didn't offer services in China", the report quotes Wynn-Williams as saying.
She also claimed that the Meta CEO worked “hand in glove with Beijing”, as he helped Beijing with content moderation, which conformed with the authoritarian state's demand.
Sarah alleges Meta shared user data with Chinese government. She claims Facebook, Instagram helped Beijing develop censorship tools. She told US senators that the tech giant compromised national security to grow its business in China, and worked "hand in glove" with the Chinese government to censor dissent on its platforms.
Sarah-a former global public policy director at Facebook, testified at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing that Meta executives prioritized profits over safety and US interests. She claims: "I saw Meta executives repeatedly undermine US national security and betray American values.”
She alleged that Meta, formerly Facebook, gave the Chinese Communist Party access to user data, including that of Americans. When engineers flagged potential data security risks, company leadership—including CEO Mark Zuckerberg—reportedly showed little concern.
Wynn-Williams also claimed that Facebook and Instagram, Meta's popular social networking platforms, aided Beijing in developing censorship tools.
"Mark Zuckerberg pledged himself a free speech champion. Yet I witnessed Meta working hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party to construct and test custom-built censorship tools that silenced and censored their critics," she said.
"One thing the Chinese Communist Party and Mark Zuckerberg share is that they want to silence their critics. I can say that from personal experience," she added.
In March, Wynn-Williams released a memoir titled ‘Careless People’, chronicling what she witnessed during her seven years in the company. A US court temporarily blocked her from promoting the book, following Meta’s legal challenge.
"The false and defamatory book should never have been published," the company said at that time. Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican, also accused Meta of attempting to block Wynn-Williams’s testimony and likened the company’s practices to those of authoritarian regimes.
"Why is it that Facebook is so desperate to prevent this witness from telling what she knows?" Hawley asked. "The evidence that we have in black and white is a company and leadership that is willing to do anything, anything—work with America’s chief competitor, work with our chief adversary."
Hawley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, sent a letter to Zuckerberg requesting his appearance before the panel, stating, "The American people deserve to know the truth about your company."
Meta strongly denied the allegations. Spokesperson Ryan Daniels said Wynn-Williams’s testimony was "divorced from reality and riddled with false claims."
"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," Daniels said.
The hearing comes days ahead of Meta’s high-profile antitrust trial in the US, where the Federal Trade Commission is seeking to break up the company’s holdings, potentially forcing it to divest Instagram and WhatsApp.
