Meta actively assisted China in the race to develop artificial intelligence as part of her failed effort to cozy as far as Beijing, a former Bilfile turned to the executive during a session of the Bombeshell Senate on Wednesday.
Sarah Wynn-Williams, who detailed her experience in Meta in the sharp memory of “careless people”, proved that she witnessed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and other leaders lie the congress and “constantly undermine US national security and betray American values”.
During her opening statement, Wynn-William, former director of Global Facebook Public Policy, told lawmakers that Meta began providing information to the Chinese Communist Party “Since 2015” while following the “Aldrin Project”-a high attempt to gain access to China’s lucrative market.
“These announcements focused on critical development technologies, including artificial intelligence-clear goal is to help China of US companies,” said Wynn-Williams, who worked on the social media giant from 2011 to 2017.
“There is a straight line that you can withdraw from these announcements in the latest discoveries that China is developing models of it for military use, relying on the Meta Llame model,” she added.
The hearing ahead of the Senate’s Senate Judiciary’s subcommitte and against terrorism occurred after Meta received an emergency order that prohibited Wynn-Williams from promoting or discussing its claims against the company. Despite this effort, her book “Careless People” grew up on top of the lists of the best sellers.
Wynn-Williams said Meta’s that model Llama “has contributed significantly to Chinese advances in the technologies of he like Deepseek” which aroused a US technology sale earlier this year after leaving a model at the same time with American rivals claiming it costs less than $ 6 million to train.
“The biggest fraud Mark Zuckerberg ever drawn was wrapping the American flag around himself and calling himself a patriot and saying he did not provide services in China as he spent the last decade building a $ 18 billion business there,” Wynn-Williams said.
“And he continues to wrap the flag around himself as we move on to the next era of artificial intelligence.”
Meta saw technology conferences with high-level Chinese officials as part of the “value proposal” he could offer to enter Beijing’s good graces, according to Wynn-Williams.
Whistleblower also detailed its claim that the company developed a “censorship system” in 2015 on behalf of CCP that risked exposing US users’ data and agreed to block accounts in 2017 operated by Guo Wengui, a self-exposed Chinese billionaire after facing pressure from China.
Chairman of the Committee Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) Accused Meta of trying to silence Wynn-Williams-mentioning that she faces $ 50,000 in the damage “whenever he mentions Facebook in public” as a result of the arbitration decision.
Hawley, who previously told the post that he would seek times when Facebook had lied under congestion for his links in China, said he was pursuing a “full -scale investigation into the possible illegal behavior of Facebook”.
At one point during the hearing, Hawley referred to internal conversations in 2017 in which Facebook employees discussed to remove the dissident account. Months later, an executive on Facebook testified before the Senate that the action was taken through regular channels.
“Facebook took direct pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and bowed to it and discussed it inside and planned it and then lied to it in Congress,” Hawley said.
Hawley suggested that Zuckerberg deceived the Congress to extend his communication with China-all of Wynn-Williams’ claim that senior leaders were in regular contact with Beijing. He also signaled that Meta may have violated a 2012 consent decree with the Federal Trade Commission to protect the privacy of user data.
The chairman of the Senate of the Senate of Chuck Grassley, who also attended the hearing, said Facebook’s attempt to penalize Wynn-Williams to go public “can be easily abused to silence it.”
Elsewhere, Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said it was “disgusting and the height of hypocrisy for a supposed free speech champion, Mark Zuckerberg and Meta, to use a threat campaign and fear of silent you.”
“The American people will be pretty angry that Mark Zuckerberg sold to America in China. That he destroyed our national security for a thorn,” Blumenthal added.
Meta has strongly denied the allegations of Wynn-Williams. The company abandoned its efforts to enter the Chinese market in 2019.
A Meta spokesman said “Wynn-Williams’ testimony is divorced from reality and clashed with false claims.”
“While Mark Zuckerberg himself was public for our interest in providing our services in China and the details were widely reported starting over a decade ago, the fact is this: we do not operate our services today in China,” the spokesman added.
In her memory, Wynn-Williams detailed examples of what she called a “rotten company culture” that reached as much as Zuckerberg, former Coco Sherryl Sandberg and current high policy executive Joel Kaplan.
Memoir claimed that Sandberg once spent $ 13,000 in the interior on herself and a new female assistant and later invited Wynn-Williams to “Come to bed” during a long home flight from Europe, among other vague claims.
As the post reported, guards as the technology supervision project have called on Congress to “drop the hammer” in Meta on its relationship in China.
