US Senator Josh Hawley has launched a scathing attack on Meta, the parent company of Facebook, accusing the tech giant of using aggressive tactics to silence a key whistleblower. In a dramatic letter to Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Hawley alleged that the company has been using "lawfare" - the use of lawsuits as a tool of intimidation - to "destroy" Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former global head of public policy at Facebook. Wynn-Williams had made explosive allegations about Meta's dealings with China and its handling of teenage users, sparking concerns about the company's accountability. Hawley is now demanding to know what measures Meta has taken to monitor Wynn-Williams and her family, raising questions about the extent to which the company will go to silence critics.
