Meta working in China?
Wyn-Williams suggested that Meta has worked secretly with China under a program called ‘Project Aldrin.’ According to her, this initiative was limited in knowledge to a handful of important staff members.
“Meta executives ignored warnings that this would provide backdoor access to the Chinese Communist Party, allowing them to intercept the personal data and private messages of American citizens,” she stated in her draft testimony.
“I watched as executives decided to provide the Chinese Communist Party with access to Meta user data — including that of Americans.”
The overall claim is a sharp surprise, given that Meta has been banned from China due to censorship issues.
