Meta wins halt to promotion of 'Careless People' tell-all book by former employee

Meta has received a ruling that blocks Sarah Wynn-Williams from promoting her memoir, Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism, due to a breach of contract claim.
The International Centre for Dispute Resolution found that Meta is likely to succeed in its claim against Wynn-Williams for violating a non-disparagement agreement.
Wynn-Williams is temporarily barred from making critical comments about Meta and must retract previous disparaging statements, according to the ruling.
Meta has stated that Wynn-Williams' allegations are a mix of outdated claims and false accusations against the company and its executives.
