1) What position did Frances Haugen occupy in Facebook?
2) What was the turning point for her to become a whistleblower?
3) What did she accuse Facebook of?
4) Where were her revelations published?
5) What changes were announced by Facebook?
6) What solution did Frances offer?
1. In May this year she left her position as a product manager at the social media giant and took tens of thousands of internal documents with her.
ReplyDelete2. Haugen, 37, says the turning point came when she moved in with her mother, who had given up an academic career to become a priest. “I am really lucky that my mother is an episcopal priest,” says Haugen, who was born and raised in Iowa. “I lived with her for six months last year and I had such profound distress because I was seeing these things inside of Facebook and I was certain it was not going to be fixed inside of Facebook.”
3. She blamed Facebook for putting "astronomical profits above people." This is exactly the kind of conversation one would expect from a successful Silicon Valley professional working for one of the largest technology companies in the world, which Haugen was five months ago.
4. Her revelations were published in many newspapers , including the New York Times
5. They said they had no commercial or moral incentive to do anything other than provide as many positive impressions as possible to as many people as possible. Like any platform, they constantly make difficult decisions between freedom of expression and harmful speech, security and other issues, and they don't make these decisions in a vacuum – they rely on the input of our teams as well as external subject matter experts to navigate them. But it is always better to leave these social lines to the elected leaders, so they have spent many years promoting the updated rules of the Internet.
6. Haugen wants to see more “friction” introduced into Facebook’s systems, such as Twitter asking users to read a link before they post it, to have the Facebook platform embrace a chronological, and therefore less provocative news feed, and for greater transparency to be forced on the company. Facebook has said it is trialling a read-before-you-share tool similar to Twitter’s, and that users already have the option of a chronological news feed, an option that Facebook is making easier for users to find.

3. Her concerns over an apparent lack of safety controls in non-English language markets, such as Africa and the Middle East, where the Facebook platform was being used by human traffickers and armed groups in Ethiopia, were a key factor in her decision to act. Haugen’s expansive and upbeat answers, sometimes punctuated with laughter, contrast with the measured performance she gave to US senators on Capitol Hill on 5 October in which she memorably accused the company of putting “astronomical profits before people”
4. Wall Street Journal revelations based on her leaks.
5. The revelations have been relentless since the WSJ first started reporting on the documents and give the impression of a company that is unable, or unwilling, to combat the consequences of its huge scale. Facebook’s family of apps – including its main platform, Facebook messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp – is used by 2.8 billion people a day. With politicians and regulators on both sides of the Atlantic closing in, it has been reported that Zuckerberg will announce a rebranding of the parent company this week in a bid to put distance between his business and the revelations.
6. For Haugen, Zuckerberg is a big part of the problem. The Facebook founder and chief executive controls a majority of the voting shares in the company, which makes his position unassailable. That has to change, says Haugen, and she believes independent investors in Facebook would seek change at the top if they could.

ReplyDelete2- Frances Haugen, 37, says the turning point came when she moved in with her mother, who had given up an academic career to become a priest. “I am really lucky that my mother is an episcopal priest,” says Haugen, who was born and raised in Iowa. “I lived with her for six months last year and I had such profound distress because I was seeing these things inside of Facebook and I was certain it was not going to be fixed inside of Facebook.”
3- Hugen said “I did what I thought was necessary to save the lives of people, especially in the global south, who I think are being endangered by Facebook’s prioritisation of profits over people. If I hadn’t brought those documents forward that was never going to come to light.” Hugen gave to US senators on Capitol Hill on 5 October in which she memorably accused the company of putting “astronomical profits before people”. It’s the kind of conversation you’d expect to have with a successful Silicon Valley professional working at one of the world’s biggest tech companies, which Haugen was until five months ago.
4- Haugen says her friends and family have been supportive since she stepped forward this month as the source of a series of Wall Street Journal revelations based on her leaks.
