The social media giant won't recover until Mark Zuckerberg steps down as CEO, according to a Facebook whistle blower.
She talked about why she went public after she left the company.
The social media giant knew its products were damaging teenagers' mental health, fomenting ethnic violence in countries such as Ethiopia, and were failing to curb misinformation before the Washington DC riots.
She said that Facebook is a mirror and that you are unhappy because you can see it now.
"Mark has been surrounded by people since he was 19 years old, who told him he was doing a great job, but it's not going to make him heal faster," said the author.
Most other public companies have less than half of their voting rights held by Facebook. There is no one who can control Facebook at the moment.
"I don't think the company can recover as long as he is the leader of it," she said.
The change Facebook made to its algorithm in order to get more reactions from users was discussed by Haugen. It's not good if we can't get you to react.
Haugen said that they were using the most dangerous version of Facebook and leaving room for hate speech.
Insider reported last month that Meta was accused of human traffickers.
Daniel Motaung said that he was fired for trying to start an employee union because of the traumatic content on the site.
When I brought up issues around genocide, Zuckerberg doubled down on the metaverse, instead of actually making these systems safe. I don't think that's a good use of time.
Someone called Facebook for comment.
