A social media company, Meta, issued an emergency arbitration ruling on Wednesday, temporarily suspending promotions of a book by former employees deemed careless as per a copy of the ruling.
The book, authored by Sarah Wynn Williams, former director of global public policy at Meta, was reviewed by the New York Times as “UGG, Detailed Portraits of One of the World’s Most Powerful Companies,” focusing on key executives like CEO Mark Zuckerberg, former COO Cheryl Sandberg, and Chief Global Affairs Joel Kaplan.
An emergency arbitrator, Nicholas Gowen, stated in the ruling that immediate relief was necessary to prevent “irreparable losses” as deemed during the hearing.
Despite Macmillan, the book publisher, not being party to the arbitration agreement between the employee and the company, the ruling instructed Wynn-Williams to cease promoting the book and refrain from further publication as much as possible, without placing any obligations on the publisher.
In response to the ruling, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone made a statement, while Wynn-Williams and Macmillan have yet to comment.
