On a related note, I believe (based on no evidence) that Zuckerberg knows of a lot more nasty dealings and wants to crucify Wynn-Williams to scare off any potential whistleblowers.
If you have no evidence, then why do you believe it?
A company and founder with such an extensive list of publicly known misdeeds (starting with Facesmash), chances are that there are many skeletons left to uncover. Setting a precedent is no unknown course of action.
It's not much to go by, but I am a commenter on HN, not a lawyer and Occam's razor doesn't disagree either.
And she left long time ago. It is even more unlikely that the company magically became clean after her leaving.
Ok the details on Zuckerberg and ”Lean In” Sandberg _are_ bizarre. Which makes it a super fun read.
On more than one occasion makes comparisons to the lofty idealized and non pragmatic goals of governmental institutions like the UN and seems bewildered that a business like Meta doesn’t (obviously) have the same aspirations/alignment.
She just reminds me of a very naive college student from what I’ve read thus far. Grinds my gears but I’m going to finish it.
Sucks that she’s getting attacked. Hopefully the punitive damages she wins will be staggering.

Gets a really high paying, competitive, prestigious job. Goes overboard to please executives. Surprised when it takes a toll on her life. Blames everyone but herself.
Who’s surprised that Zuckerberg and Sandberg are total freaking weirdos? Who’s surprised that someone who works with them has their entire identity wrapped up in their work life?
His end thesis is that even though Meta knows of the Streisand effect, even though they full on expect to lose, badly, and look like bullies chuds and losers, with no real defense, they are doing it to keep everyone else who works or worked at Meta on line, to engage in gratuitous overkill as a message. Sounds about right!
He also had a very excellent piece on pro-Monopolists like Thiel, which just feels so close a breed of absolute deranged fucking madness. Excellent read. Realest of real problems. Deranged billionaires and their syndromes, https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/16/lucky-orifices/
