Meta Whistleblower Accuses Zuckerberg of Betraying US for China Ties, Makes Big Claims
Washington, D.C. | April 12, 2025 — A former top Meta executive, Sarah Wynn-Williams, has leveled explosive allegations against Facebook-parent Meta and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg, claiming the company prioritized access to China’s market over U.S. national security and public trust.

Speaking before a U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee led by Senator Josh Hawley, Wynn-Williams alleged that Meta deliberately allowed the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) access to sensitive user data and even developed custom censorship tools tailored to the CCP’s demands.
“I saw Meta executives repeatedly undermine U.S. national security and betray American values,” Wynn-Williams said during her sworn testimony.
The whistleblower further stated that despite Zuckerberg’s public claims of patriotic allegiance and denial of operating in China, the company was actively building an $18 billion business footprint there.
“The greatest trick Mark Zuckerberg ever pulled was wrapping himself in the American flag while quietly building tools for China,” she added.
Wynn-Williams accused Meta of creating censorship mechanisms “hand in glove with Beijing” to silence critics of the regime. She also disclosed that Meta’s AI model, Llama, was allegedly shared with Chinese firm DeepSeek, raising red flags over technology transfers to geopolitical rivals.
In response, Meta denied all allegations, calling them “divorced from reality and riddled with false claims.” Company spokesperson Ryan Daniels reiterated that Meta’s services are currently not available in China, despite previous interest in entering the market.
The whistleblower further claimed that Meta threatened her with $50,000 penalties per breach of her separation agreement, even if her disclosures were truthful. Meta clarified this clause applies only to specific violations, not to congressional testimony.
The controversy arrives at a time of growing tension between the U.S. and China, especially in areas involving technology, cybersecurity, and AI supremacy. The allegations have reignited debate about whether major American tech platforms are vulnerable to foreign influence.
