A Facebook whistleblower who is due to testify before Congress on Oct. 5 has accused the Big Tech company of repeatedly putting profit before doing “what was good for the public,” including clamping down on hate speech.
Frances Haugen, who told CBS News’ “60 Minutes” program that she was recruited by Facebook as a product manager on the civic misinformation team in 2019, said she and her attorneys have filed at least eight complaints with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
