When she and I appeared onstage together in London for the launch for my book *Enshittification* last year, she fell silent and assumed a blank expression any time the subject of Meta came up, and she didn't sign or sell books afterward: www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/202... 26/

When she won the British Book Award, she did not speak to accept it, and the cover of her book was blurred out on the overhead screen: www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m... 27/

Nevertheless, when she was to speak - about a subject other than her book - at the Hay Festival with Tim Wu and Carole Cadwalladr, Meta sent a legal threat to the festival and Wynn-Williams, claiming that if by speaking about *anything* in public, she would violate the arbitrator's order. 29/

Accordingly, Wynn-Williams maintained silence and a blank facial expression for an hour on stage, *saying not one word*, while Wu and Cadwalladr carried on a discussion. *Careless People* was withdrawn from the festival shop on the days she appeared there: www.theguardian.com/technology/2... 30/

Her lawyers have posted their documents related to the suit, including a 285-page declaration by Wynn-Williams explaining the great lengths she's gone to in order to comply with Meta's demands, and the company's absolute intransigence and arbitrary menace: katzbanks.com/sarah-wynn-w... 33/

Why would Meta be so intent on destroying this one high-profile whistleblower? Surely they've heard of the Streisand Effect. There is no better way to ensure that Wynn-Williams' book (already a NYT #1 bestseller) continues to attract readers than to continue to escalate these threats. 34/

Tyrants never learn. Either because they feel overconfident or because they feel very threatened they always go after their critics with a vengeance that proves the critic’s point.

Ответ для Roland Gerritsen van der Hoop

Tyrants learn all the time how to continue being tyrants. That's why we still have them.
