The arbitrator awarded Mehta $50,000 for each criticism that Wynne Williams levied, quickly coming to a total of over $111 million.

This vastly exceeds the assets and lifetime earning potential of Wynne Williams and her husband, a reporter with the Financial Times.

Once they've secured civil damages that exceed her net worth several times over, why shouldn't she just flout her agreement?
voice-verified
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose and all that.

Nevertheless, Wynne Williams has scrupulously hewed to the arbitrator's rules, steadfastly remaining silent about her book, its contents, and her experience at Facebook slash Meta.

When she and I appeared on stage in London for the launch of my book and shitification 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.

Nevertheless, when she was booked to speak about a subject other than her book at the Hay Festival on a stage with Tim Wu and Carol Cadwallader, Meta sent a legal threat to the festival and Wynne Williams, claiming that by speaking about anything in public, she would violate the arbitrator's order.
voice-verified
Accordingly, Wynne Williams maintained total silence and a blank facial expression for an hour on stage, saying not one word, while Wu and Cadwallader carried on a discussion.

This act of anti-ice cream thuggery has pushed Wynne Williams over the edge and now she's sued to invalidate her contract.
voice-verified
Her lawyers have posted their documents related to the suit, including a 285-page declaration by Wynne 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.
voice-verified
Why would Meta be so intent on destroying this one high-profile whistleblower?
voice-verified
Surely they've heard of the Streisand effect.
