Facebook ‘worked hand in glove’ with China, claims ex-director happymamay

A former Facebook executive official told the BBC how a social media giant “manually in glove” with the Chinese government about possible ways to allow Beijing to control and control China’s content.

Sarah Win Williams, former global public policy manager, says in exchange for reaching the Chinese market for hundreds of millions of users, the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, who agrees to hide the jobs that were running virals, so that they can be examined by the Chinese authorities.

Mrs. Williams – who submitted claims in a new book – also submitted the complaints of the violations to the American market organizer, the Securities and Stock Exchange Committee (SEC), claiming that Mita had misled investors. BBC reviewed the complaint.

The parent company on Facebook says, Mrs. Wynn-Williams has ended in 2017 for “poor performance”.

“It is not a secret that we were once interested in” in China’s operating services. “We have finally chosen not to pass the ideas that we explored.”

We referred Meta to Mark Zuckerberg Comments from 2019, when he said: “We were unable to reach an agreement on what we will require to work there, and they are [China] Do not let us enter. “

Facebook also used algorithms to discover when young teenagers were weak as part of the research aimed at advertisers, as Mrs. Win Williams claims.

A former diplomat in New Zealand, joined Facebook in 2011, and says she saw the company growing from the “front -class seat”.

Now you want to show some “decision -making and moral solutions” that she says continued when she was there. It is a critical moment, as she adds, “Many of the people I have worked with … they will be central” in providing artificial intelligence.

In her notes, neglected people, Mrs. Win Williams draws a picture of what she claims that working on a big team on Facebook was.

She says that Mr. Zuckerberg did not wake up before midday, loved karaoke and did not want to overcome table games, such as risks. She told us: “I didn’t realize that you were supposed to win. I was a little naive.”

However, Mrs. Wynn-Williams says her allegations about the company’s close relationship with China provides an insightful view of decisions on Facebook at the time.

“China is the whale of Mark Zuckerberg White,” says Ms. Wayne Williams.

The country is the largest market for social media in the world, but access to Facebook is still prohibited there, along with the likes of X and YouTube.

“It is one piece in the tablet game that has not escaped,” she says.

Mrs. Wayne Williams claims that in mid -2010, as part of her negotiations with the Chinese government, Facebook considered her to access the data of the Chinese citizens’ user.

“He was working manually in a glove with the Chinese Communist Party, as he built a control tool … he works mainly to develop a kind of contradiction to many principles that support Facebook,” the BBC told the BBC.

Mrs. Wynn-Williams says that governments are repeatedly asking explanations on how to work aspects of Facebook programs, but she was told that they are private information.

“But when it comes to the Chinese, the curtain was withdrawn.”

“The engineers were brought. Each side has been walking, and Facebook was sure that these Chinese officials were ready enough that they could not only get to know these products, but then a Facebook test on the censorship version of these products they were building.”

Meta BBC told such allegations about China, “was widely reported” at the time.

In her complaint at SEC, Mrs. Win Williams also claims that Mr. Zuckerberg and other description executives have made “misleading statements … in response to Congress inquiries” about China.

One answer said by Mr. Zuckerberg to Congress in 2018 [Chinese] The government will seek to implement its laws and regulations to the content.

Meta BBC told Mr. Zuckerberg a precise certificate, adding that she does not manage services in China.

Most of the Facebook executives have not allowed their children to Facebook – according to Lady Wynn -Swilliams. “They have a ban on the screen. They will surely not allow them to use the product.”

However, she says Reports from 2017 – The company was using algorithms to target and classify the weak teenagers – it was correct.

“The algorithm could be concluded that they were feeling unimaginable or unhappy,” as they claimed.

It claims that the company – which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp – can determine when a teenage girl deleted a personal photo on her platforms, then a beauty company notifies that it will be a good moment to target the child with the advertisement.

Mrs. Wayne Williams says that she “felt ill” from thought and tried to retreat, “although I knew she was useless.”

They said: “The work side believes that this is exactly what we should do. We have this amazing product, we can get young people, a really important advertising sector. “

Meta BBC told that this was a mistake – he never provided tools to target people based on their emotional state – and that the research he did before was to help the marketers understand how people express themselves on Facebook, not to target ads.

In general, Mrs. Win Williams says the company has not done enough to address the issue of youth safety on social media.

“This is one of the most valuable companies in the world. They can invest in this and make it a real priority and do more to fix it.”

Facebook said it was transparent about targeting the advertisement The updates related to it shared its approach To create advertising experiments suitable for age for adolescents.

She also said she provided “teenagers’ accounts” to tens of millions of young people who have built -in protection. She also said that she was giving parents more supervision of adolescents’ use of the application.

In addition to the weak performance, Mita says 45 years old was also expelled due to “toxic behavior” after she has provided “misleading and unfounded allegations.”

But Mrs. Wynn -Williams told the BBC that she was left after complaining of inappropriate comments by one of her superiors – Joel Kaplan, and she is now a Meta global affairs official.

Meta told us that she had been paid by “Sti-Facbook Stimisses” and she was not a reporter.

“The status of the amounts of the amounts protects the communications to the government, and not the disturbing activists trying to sell books,” she said.

Regarding the Wynn-Williams book, Meta confirmed to the BBC that it has launched a legal action in the United States to “stop the additional and incorrect and incorrect information.”

To confront this, a legal representative of Mrs. Wayne Williams said: “Mita has made a number of misconceptions and inconsistent about Sarah since the news of her memoirs erupted … while dead statements are trying to mislead the audience, the book talks about himself.”

We asked her why she was talking now. She said that she wanted to change dead because she “affects a lot of our daily life” and we need to ensure “we get the future we deserve.”

“We are at the moment when technological and political leaders meet, and while they collect forces, which have many consequences for all of us.

“I think it is really important to understand this and your understanding looks at all these engineers who influence the highest level of the government.”
