Frances Haugen had allegedly leaked documents that were accessed by the Wall Street Journal in a critical report. She also wrote a memoir on her journey since her departure from Facebook.
Frances Haugen, a former Facebook employee and Meta whistleblower, has said that 바카라tens of millions바카라 will die if social media is not overhauled. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Haugen said that her employer at the social media company was putting the company바카라s 바카라profits over safety바카라 of the employees.
She worked at Facebook until 2021 when she allegedly leaked some confidential documents published by The Wall Street Journal as 바카라The Facebook Files바카라. These included research reports and employee discussions apparently signifying that the company was aware of the harm its platform was causing.
Based on the documents accessed, the WSJ also reported that Meta downplays the effect of Instagram on a teenager바카라s mental health and that knows that Facebook services are used to 바카라spread religious hatred in India바카라.
Haugen wrote a memoir on her journey since her departure from Facebook where she warned people of the algorithm changes and claimed that Meta바카라s profits were contingent because no one knew 바카라how large the gap between Facebook바카라s and Instagram바카라s public narratives and the truth had grown바카라,
"A lot of people will die in the next 20 years if we don't solve this problem," she said. The figure could be "tens of millions", she added without further expanding her comment.
In 2021, Haugen appeared before the UK government in a parliament hearing to back their proposal to regulate content on social media platforms. Mark Zuckerberg 바카라has unilateral control over 3 billion people바카라 due to his unassailable position, she had told the MPs, as reported by The Guardian.
바카라I am deeply concerned that they have made a product that can lead people away from their real communities and isolate them in these rabbit holes and these filter bubbles. What you find is that when people are sent targeted misinformation to a community, it can make it hard to reintegrate into wider society because now you don바카라t have shared facts,바카라 she had said in her address, according to the report.
Facebook has faced criticism over its content several times in the past. In 2018, a United Nations probe claimed that Facebook had 바카라substantively contributed바카라 to the Myanmar genocide, Reuters reported. Meanwhile, Instagram바카라s policy changes, according to a BBC report, were behind the suicide of a British teenager.
