The education of Frances Haugen: How the Facebook whistleblower learned to use data as a weapon from years in tech

‘More to come’ from Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, her lawyer says
Facebook's own data is not as conclusive as you think about teens and mental health

The six-hour-long outage wasn’t the only reason Facebook was in the news yesterday. As the platform and all of its subsidiaries remained offline, whistleblower Frances Haugen testified in front of a Senate panel about the far-reaching negative impacts of her former employer. Haugen revealed herself on Sunday to be the whistleblower that had leaked troves of internal documents to the Wall Street Journal, as well as filed multiple complaints with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Haugen’s testimony, and the documents published in the Journal, show Facebook has been aware of the negative effects of misinformation, the harm caused by Instagram to young users, and how the platform poses a national security risk — but has refused to act on its own internal recommendations and has repeatedly hidden these findings from shareholders, the public, and regulators.
Haugen’s courageous testimony and yesterday’s outage show exactly why Facebook needs to be regulated and broken up. Millions of people across the globe were left unable to communicate with friends and family members while WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, was offline for six hours yesterday. This company has amassed far too much power over our communications, our democracy, and our day-to-day lives — and the consequences, as we’ve seen, are dire. Congress must act to rein in Facebook before it's too late. - Robert Reich
