Meta legal action forces whistleblower silent at Hay festival (theguardian.com)

• Wynn-Williams did not speak or respond during the event.
• Meta sought sanctions specifically citing her Hay festival appearance.
• Festival halted book sales to comply with Meta's legal order.

"Former Facebook executive Sarah Wynn-Williams sat silently on stage at the Hay festival after lawyers advised against speaking due to Meta's ongoing legal action. She was unable to nod or shake her head during the hour-long discussion. Meta obtained an emergency order before her book's publication barring her from discussing certain aspects, with fines of $50,000 per breach. The festival withdrew her book from sale during the event to avoid violating the order."
