Meta Temporarily Blocks Promotion of Former Employee’s Book ‘Careless People’
Meta Platforms has won an emergency arbitration ruling to halt the promotion of Careless People, a tell-all book authored by a former employee. The ruling, issued on Wednesday, temporarily prevents further marketing and sales efforts, according to a copy of the decision published by the social media giant.
What Is the Book About?
Careless People reportedly offers insider accounts of Meta’s internal workings, policies, and alleged corporate culture issues. While specific details remain undisclosed, early reports suggest the book criticizes leadership decisions, data handling practices, and workplace ethics at the tech giant.
Meta’s Legal Argument
Meta argued that the book violates non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) signed by the author during their tenure at the company. The emergency ruling suggests that Meta has a strong case for enforcing confidentiality obligations.
“We are committed to protecting proprietary information and ensuring that former employees respect their legal commitments,” a Meta spokesperson stated.
