Former Meta Official Exposes Allegations of Censorship and Collaboration with China
A former director of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has made explosive claims in a forthcoming memoir that CEO Mark Zuckerberg collaborated closely with the Chinese government to develop censorship tools and considered sharing user data. The whistleblower alleges that Meta built a content censorship system to facilitate its entry into the Chinese market, willing to shut down political dissent to appease authorities. Additionally, accusations of sexual harassment against a company executive have surfaced, with claims that the whistleblower was fired for reporting these incidents. Meta has responded forcefully to these allegations, amidst growing scrutiny over its global operations and internal practices.
