Sarah Wynn-Williams – a New Zealand diplomat and lawyer who left public service to join Facebook as director of global policy. She later became widely known for her memoir Careless People, exposing the corporation’s inner world – from leadership’s indifference to dangerous entanglements with censorship.
🐦 As a teenager, she survived a shark attack – an experience she later used as a personal metaphor. 🗳 Began her career in diplomacy, working in Washington before moving into tech. 📚 Entered Facebook almost by chance, pitching her ideas and being hired. 🔥 Her turning point came when she realized her colleagues simply didn’t care about consequences. 💼 After her book’s release, Meta tried to curb its promotion, but that only fueled its success. 📺 Readers describe the memoir as a kind of Silicon Valley dystopia. 🆘 She recounts a scene where an employee collapsed in the office – met with chilling indifference. 🎤 She insists silence is complicity, and breaking it was her duty. 😉 Jokes that after all she’s been through, she fears corporations more than sharks. 😄 Readers laugh that after her book even their smartphones feel suspicious.
