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

Meta won an emergency ruling to temporarily block promotion of the book 'Careless People' by Sarah Wynn-Williams due to claims against executives including CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg.
Wynn-Williams accused Sandberg of spending $13,000 on lingerie and alleged misconduct by another executive.
Meta's spokesman Andy Stone stated that the ruling supports the view that Wynn-Williams' book is false and defamatory, asserting she rushed its publication.
In response, a former employee defended another executive, stating he was professional and fair during her time working with him.
