Are the Facebook Papers too sensitive for public release? Gizmodo chats with Facebook Whistleblower Francis Haugen about the company publishing the Facebook Papers. In the fall of 2021, members of the U.S. Congress and hundreds of Western journalists obtained access to a collection of internal Facebook documents. The trove of research reports, proposals, presentations, and employee conversations would form the foundation for dozens of news stories describing Facebook’s own awareness of the real-world harms that resulted from its relentless pursuit of its users’ attention. Whistleblower Frances Haugen—a former member of the Civic Integrity team at the company now called Meta—shared the cache of more than 1,300 documents that would come to be known collectively as the Facebook Papers. She would go on to testify before Congress as to their implications. Lawmakers would grill Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri about them as well. #francishaugen #facebook #whistleblower Read more: https://gizmodo.com/facebook-papers-how-to-read-1848702919?rev=1687537194773 We come from the future. https://gizmodo.com/ Follow us. https://twitter.com/gizmodo https://instagram.com/gizmodo https://facebook.com/gizmodo
