Meta Whistleblower Says Facebook in Bed With China: TikTok Ban Was to Monopolize Selling Out US NatSec

This is a developing story on what could be described as a substantial revelation concerning one of America’s most infamously harmful technology companies.

A Meta whistleblower is appearing before Congress today with testimony that may shed new light on Facebook’s aggressive stance toward its competitor TikTok.

According to prepared remarks obtained by reporters, the whistleblower will allege that Meta’s campaign against TikTok was not primarily motivated to improve national security, but rather by Meta’s opposite desire to maintain market dominance for profit on undermining national security.

Throughout those seven years, I saw Meta executives repeatedly undermine U.S. national security and betray American values,” the prepared opening testimony of Wynn-Williams reads. “They did these things in secret to win favor with Beijing and build an $18 billion dollar business in China,” the former New Zealand diplomat will say. “During my time at Meta, company executives lied about what they were doing with the Chinese Communist Party to employees, shareholders, Congress, and the American public,” per the opening testimony. Wynn-Williams will say she’s appearing before the committee “to set the record straight about these illegal and dangerous activities,” per the prepared testimony.

The former employee is expected to reveal that Facebook’s punitive lobbying efforts to ban TikTok were related to what the whistleblower characterizes as “selling out American national security.”

The testimony suggests that if TikTok were indeed connected to China as alleged, it would have competed with Facebook’s own undisclosed business arrangements, potentially reducing Facebook’s profit from selling citizen data to foreign nations.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, who served as Director of Global Public Policy at Facebook/Meta for nearly seven years starting in 2011, details several explosive allegations in her full testimony.

She claims Meta operated its secret “Project Aldrin” to establish business in China while publicly denying operations there, created custom censorship tools for the Chinese government, deleted accounts of Chinese dissidents at Beijing’s request, and even built a physical pipeline connecting the US and China that could potentially expose private user data.

According to Wynn-Williams, Meta has built China into its second-largest market, generating $18 billion in business while sharing sensitive technological information, including AI developments through its Llama model that she claims have contributed to Chinese military AI advancements.

The whistleblower states she has filed complaints with the SEC and DOJ and claims Meta is attempting to silence her with legal action and a gag order despite previous commitments to waive rights to forced arbitration.

Tesla Cybertruck Blows Stop-sign and Crashes Upside Down

The Tesla CEO has said the Cybertruck will “win” a crash with other vehicles, and won’t roll over. So it should be no surprise that a small 2015 Honda would flip the Tesla upside down.

According to Lassig, she came to a complete stop at the intersection of Benton Road, had right-of-way, and proceeded through the intersection after stopping at the stop sign.

“As she advanced through the stop sign, the Tesla Cybertruck driver failed to stop and collided with the Honda Odyssey.

“The force of the collision caused the Cybertruck to roll over in a south-easterly direction into an open field, after crashing through a barbed wire fence,” Lassig said. The Cybertruck ended up on its roof, while the Odyssey spun to a stop, to face north at the intersection of Benton Road and Washington Street.

Here’s an eastbound view the Cybertruck had as it approached the intersection at full speed, blowing the stop sign. Was this a case of the low quality webcams, used by Tesla for its “driverless” claims, failing to see both the traffic sign and the traffic in a clear space on a clear day?

A similar “wheels up” image was shared last year, warning owners that their “apocalypse ready” cosplay may be far more prone to roll over than Tesla will admit.
