#Meta won a legal victory this week against #Sarah #Wynn-#Williams,
a former employee who recently published a memoir of her time at the company titled
“Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism.”

An arbitrator ruled that the company has made a valid argument that Wynn-Williams, who worked at Facebook (now Meta) from 2011 to 2017, may have violated the
non-disparagement agreement she signed when leaving the company.

The ruling states that Wynn-Williams is temporarily prohibited from promoting
— or, “to the extent within [her] control, from further publishing or distributing”
— her book until private arbitration concludes.

However, “Careless People” remains available for purchase,
and may in fact be benefitting from the “Streisand Effect,”
in which attempts to suppress information only serve to further publicize it.

As of Sunday afternoon, “Careless People” was the number three bestselling book on Amazon.

Macmillan, which published “Careless People” through its imprint Flatiron Books, said in a statement that
the arbitrator’s decision “has no impact” on the publisher
and that it will “absolutely continue to support and promote” the book.

The publisher added that it is “appalled by Meta’s tactics to silence [its] author through the use of a non-disparagement clause in a severance agreement.”

“To be clear, the arbitrator’s order makes no reference to the claims within Careless People,” Macmillan said.

“The book went through a thorough editing and vetting process, and we remain committed to publishing important books such as this.”

Je maakt je druk over de milieu impact van de kleding die je koopt, dus je installeert een app, "good on you" om de duurzaamheid van kleding merken te kunnen checken. Die vervolgens je data deelt met oa #Google en #Facebook zodat deze meer #fastfashion reclame door je strot kunnen duwen.

#facebook / #Meta doesn't want us talking about Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams

This former insider of the company is saying things that Facebook doesn't want known and claiming are false. So they had the courts stop her from promoting the book. I wonder who I'm more likely to believe?

Am I the only one that is wondering why the #unplugtrump discussion is not emphasizing more on the fact that with the #tadpf out of commission, American companies like #microsoft #google #amazon #meta #apple & co actually CANNOT comply with #eu regulations like the #gdpr even on paper?

That is prevented by US laws like the #patriotact and the #cloudact which says US 3-letter services can access ALL data of US companies no matter WHERE it is stored.

Finished reading Careless People today. Not sure what possessed me to go through with it, but here we are. Mostly re-disgusted with all the behavior we've seen & read about-- & been subjected to over the years, but this was a wild first-hand account.

Some words:
Immature
Exploitative
Bumbling
Evasive
Petulant
Misogynistic
Abusive
Bumbling
Predatory
Lethal Carelessness

I may need to wander through the woods for a week to detox.

"Ce qui frappe le lecteur c'est que #Meta et ses semblables sont l'exact équivalent des multinationales du pétrole, des minerais et du tabac de l'ère de l'analogique. Et ce sont toutes des entreprises US qui ont pactisé avec #Trump, ce qui signifie que leurs intérêts sont irrémédiablement liés à ceux de l'État US."

"Et donc toute tentative par nos gouvernements de réguler les #GAFAM sera considérée par Trump comme un acte de guerre économique."

"Il est temps de comprendre que la déférence de nos gouvernants envers les géants de la #Tech est un danger pour notre sécurité à tous."

You know what I don't understand
at least not completely

Ok there are strong protests against EMusky
The sales are fucked
The stock has taken a nosedive
Ok, so far so good
Protest is a must
(Even if I worry about all the employees)

But what about all these other idiots who are also happily standing next to DTrumpy?
I don't see that many memes etc
They don't have that much headwind

Boycott Google
Boycott Amazon
Boycott Meta

Freue mich über den Artikel, wenn er dann geschrieben ist. War selbst nie bei WhatsApp, weil ich nicht bereit bin, meine Kontakte mit #Meta zu teilen. Ich gebe zu, dass ich nicht scharf auf diesen Eltern-Chat bin, wenn dann aber endlich der Umzug zu Signal stattgefunden hat, werde ich beitreten, gelegentlich ist der Austausch hilfreich.
