Facebook Whistleblower Exposes How Hate Helps the Bottom Line


Sonali Kolhatkar speaks with Jessica J. González, Co-CEO of Free Press and co-founder of “Ya Basta Facebook” and the Change the Terms coalition


Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen testified to Congress on Tuesday about how her former employer has ensured little regulation of hate speech in the quest for bigger profits. Haugen revealed herself to the public in a recent 60 minutes interview which came after her findings were analysed and published in a major report in the Wall Street Journal.
