00:00While it couldn't stop its release, Meta is trying to stop further sales of a new book
00:04written by a former employee.
00:06The tell-all memoir by Sarah Wynne-Williams, entitled Careless People, was released on
00:11March 11.
00:13It chronicles her six-year tenure with the company and details several unflattering allegations.
00:18Meta pushed back against Wynne-Williams and the book's publisher, claiming this is a mix
00:22of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about
00:27our executives.
00:28The company also says the book violates Wynne-Williams' non-disparagement terms of her severance agreement.
00:34The arbitrator in the case sided with Meta, saying the company would suffer immediate
00:38and irreparable loss.
00:40He also sided with Meta on the grounds of the non-disparagement agreement.
00:44Some of the details of the book include allegations of sexual harassment by a high-ranking company
00:49official, as well as Meta's attempts to break into the Chinese market, including ways it
00:53would try to appease the Chinese Communist Party.
00:57That'll do it for your daily briefing from the New York Stock Exchange.
