Frances Haugen: the Facebook whistleblower

The document is an article from a reputable source

published in Oct. 2021. It reveals the scandal that Frances
Haugen is trying to shed light on.
Francis Haugen is a data scientist. She used to work at
Facebook. This is how she secretly obtained her data. She is
now a whistleblower and she fights against the
misinformation and hate spread by social media.

She started to work at Facebook to avenge one of her

friends who died after falling into a conspiracy theory.
Her department at Facebook used to fight against
misinformation but a few months in, after she got hired, it
closed; she was so disappointed that she started to react and
quit her job.

Since she resigned, she has accused Facebook of being

dishonest. She thinks they choose money over the safety of
their users. She has revealed that Facebook tends to harm
children: for example, she says they publish photos that give
a misconception of reality.

She wants Facebook to be safer and to protect our

personal data. She also wants governments to be stricter with
this platform and protect children more.
