【新聞英文】臉書協助中共做內容審查
Facebook 前總監 Sarah Wynn-Williams 於四月上旬在美國國會聽證會上作證，指出 Facebook CEO 馬克‧祖克柏涉及將使用者個資販賣給中共，甚至還親自設計程式，協助中共進行中港台的內容審查。
這一兩週，Facebook 向中共販售個資的新聞在國外吵得沸沸揚揚。
Facebook 前總監 Sarah Wynn-Williams 於四月上旬在美國國會聽證會上作證，指出 Facebook CEO 馬克‧祖克柏涉及將使用者個資販賣給中共，甚至還親自設計程式，協助中共進行中港台的內容審查。
在新聞爆發開時，一位香港網友表示，在2019年反送中運時，他們使用 Facebook 時，很容易被香港官方發現，可是使用 Line 就沒有這個現象；這讓他們很匪夷所思。如今真相幾乎大白。
這位吹哨者 Sarah Wynn-Williams 在 2025 年 3 月出版了一本自傳《Carelss People》（無心為善的人），內容揭露了他在 Facebook 任職期間的所見所聞。因為內容涉及了許多爭議性的內容，Facebook 為此控告了這位作者，每當作者公開提及 Facebook，便須付出巨額的賠償金。然而，Facebook 這麼做也只是欲蓋彌彰，如此大動作，更凸顯了這位作者所述的真實性。
以下的段落是由共和黨參議員 Josh Hawley 為這場聽證會所做的開場，簡單地描述了這場聽證會的重要性。
中文翻譯
讓我們先來看看這個段落的翻譯：
「在開始前請容我先說，今天這場聽證會是 Facebook 想盡全力阻止的一場聽證會。
Facebook 是全球最有權勢的公司之一，甚至可以說是歷史上最有權勢的公司。為了不讓今天的內容公諸於世，他們無所不用其極。他們拼了命地想要阻止。
今天我們的證人是一位吹哨者，她不是一般人——她是 Facebook 的前高層，曾與 Mark Zuckerberg 和 Sheryl Sandberg 密切合作，更是公司核心決策圈的一份子。而 Facebook 為了讓她噤聲，用了幾乎是開戰的手段。
他們對她提起訴訟、申請禁言令，還請法院下架她的自傳。他們打從一開始就想阻止她出版這本書。他們甚至還威脅她——每當她在公開場合提到「Facebook」，不論她說的是不是事實，她都會因此被罰五萬美金。每提到一次，就是五萬。
甚至在我們今天坐在這裡開聽證會的同時，Facebook 還在想辦法讓她破產、摧毀她的名聲，毀掉她整個人生。
問題來了：為什麼？Facebook 到底在怕什麼？為什麼他們如此害怕讓她說出真相？
我想今天我們就會知道答案。
我們其實大致都知道了。Sarah Win Williams 握有 Facebook 的真相，這是他們最害怕的地方。
她知道，雖然 Mark Zuckerberg 此時此刻對外聲稱自己是愛國者、是捍衛言論自由的人，但事實是，他過去好幾年都和中國共產黨密集合作。他不但把言論審查當成一門生意，還協助中共開發內容審查工具，用來對付自己的人民。
他也曾準備把美國用戶的資料交給北京。」
英文逐字稿
Let me just say as we begin, this is a hearing that Facebook has tried desperately to prevent.
Facebook is one of the most powerful companies in the world. It is one of the most powerful companies in the history of the world. and they have stopped at absolutely nothing to prevent today’s testimony.
They’ve absolutely gone to war to try to prevent it(the testimony = 聽證會的證詞). Our witness today is a whistleblower (吹哨者) and not just a whistleblower, but a longtime executive(決策人員) at Facebook.
She worked directly with Mark Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandber Sanders and the Facebook brass. She was a part of the Facebook brass and they have gone scorched earth(執行焦土策略、致人於死地的手段) to prevent her from telling what she knows.
They’ve sued her. They have sought a gag order against her. They have begged courts to take her book off of the shelves. They tried to get it stopped from being printed in the first place. They have threatened her, get this, with $50,000 in punitive damages every time she mentions Facebook in public. $50,000 every time she mentions Facebook in public, even if the statements that she is making are true.
And even as we sit here today, Facebook is attempting her total and complete financial ruin. They are attempting to destroy her personally. They are attempting to destroy her reputation.
And I think the question is why? Why is it that Facebook is so desperate to prevent this witness from telling what she knows? What is it that they are so afraid of?
Well, we’re going to find out today.
And I think that we’ve already got a sense of it. Sarah Win Williams knows the truth about Facebook. That’s what they fear.
She knows that while Mark Zuckerberg now claims to be a champion of the United States and claims to be a free speech warrior, he in fact worked handin glove with the Chinese Communist Party for years.
He in fact made censorship his business model. He in fact developed censorship tools for the Chinese Communist Party to use against its own people.
He in fact made Americans own user data available, was willing to make it available to Beijing.
The truth is Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg have lied to the American people repeatedly.
