【大紀元2025年03月12日訊】《華盛頓郵報》3月9日獨家報導，社群龍頭Meta前主管威廉斯投訴，Meta曾表態願配合審查內容及壓制異見，包括僱用300名內容審查員，以讓臉書在中國上路；如今Meta喊與川普攜手打擊全球審查行為，「人們應該知道真相」。 《華郵》（The Washington Post）指出，Meta處理中國政策的前團隊成員威廉斯（Sarah Wynn-Williams）於投訴書中表示，Meta曾迫切想進入利潤豐厚的中國市場，而願意讓中共監督境內所有社群內容，及壓制異議。 根據《華郵》取得的長達78頁的投訴書副本，Meta（當時稱為Facebook）2015年為中國開發審查系統，及計劃任命一名握有刪除內容大權的「總編」，還可以在「社會動盪時期」關閉整個網站。 根據投訴，Meta盼一名中國高階官員能幫助他們進入中國市場，在這名官員施壓下，Meta執行長祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg，扎克伯格）同意限制自稱北京當局異議人士的中國富商郭文貴的臉書帳戶。 威廉斯2017年被解僱，即將發行在Meta任職的回憶錄。 根據投訴書，Meta領導團隊面臨中國（中共）官員的巨大壓力，要求將中國用戶的數據存放在當地數據中心，威廉斯質疑這將使中國共產黨更容易取得公民個資。 電子前沿基金會（Electronic Frontier Foundation）全球隱私政策主任羅德里格斯（Katitza Rodriguez）透過聲明表示，「像中國這樣有獨裁傾向的國家，政府對資料流向的嚴格管控被扭曲成審查、監視及鎮壓的工具。」 「一旦數據存儲在當地，企業就被迫遵守北京的要求，否則就有失去接觸中國消費者的風險。」 投訴書稱，祖克柏（扎克伯格）2014年在幕後組「中國隊」，「客製化」可以在中國合法上路的臉書版本，代號為「奧德林計劃」，以紀念第2位踏上月球的阿波羅11號太空人奧德林（Buzz Aldrin）。 為了拉高與中國的談判籌碼，Meta當時也考慮改變隱私政策，以符合中國（中共）政府利益。根據投訴書附上的一封電子郵件內容，Meta內部的隱私團隊在與對中國的談判團隊會面數天後，隱私團隊願意削弱香港用戶的權利。 根據投訴書，2015年，Meta開始與中國（中共官員就在中國上路的更詳細計劃進行談判。根據草擬協議的其中一個版本，中國私募股權公司弘毅投資將負責審查及決定在中國的用戶，包括在中國旅行的外國人所發布內容是否「符合適用法律」。 投訴書稱，Meta還建立專門為中國設計的審查系統，包括自動偵測Facebook上的限制性用語能力，Meta也同意僱用至少300名「內容審查員」來支援這項系統。 直到2019年，「川普1.0」與中國的貿易戰開打時，Meta才放棄對中國的野心。 祖克柏（扎克伯格）今年1月表示，Meta將與總統川普合作，反擊世界各國政府的審查行為。威廉斯對此指出，川普首要任務之一是讓西方贏得這場關鍵的AI競賽，但多年來Meta持續與中國共產黨密切合作，向他們介紹最新科技發展，對外界也沒說實話。 Meta發言人史東（Andy Stone）則回應，Meta有興趣在中國發展業務「不是什麼祕密」。 《華郵》指出，Meta當前的目標是從美國政府對中國的強硬立場中獲益，例如祖克柏（扎克伯格）今年在全公司的會議上告訴員工，如果短影音平台TikTok在美國被禁，這將有利Meta。 根據《華郵》聽取的會議錄音檔案，祖克柏（扎克伯格）在會中表示，「他們（TikTok）是我們的主要競爭對手之一」，「這是一張我們可以打的牌。」 （轉自中央社） 責任編輯：許家琳#
