- US Senator Josh Hawley accuses Meta of using 'lawfare' to target whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams over allegations about Meta's dealings with China and impact on teens.
- Wynn-Williams, former Facebook policy head, made claims in her memoir but is under arbitration restrictions preventing her from discussing the book, which Meta disputes as false.
- Hawley demands documents on Meta's monitoring of Wynn-Williams and her family, citing concerns over surveillance and aggressive legal tactics to silence her.
- Meta argues Wynn-Williams is using legal processes to sell books, broke a severance agreement, and denies claims about bankruptcy threats or targeting teens emotionally.
- Hawley urges congressional action to protect whistleblowers from corporate retaliation, highlighting the public interest in Meta's conduct and transparency.
