and we see the facebook person, frances haugen.feels like we are in talks about this postruth where the actual facts of the case are disputed frequely as the interpretation of what the obvious truth is. it seems that documentation has a way around that. i would just ask, where do you think things are headed from, if we have normal orccess to factual infmation om theovernment, you have a much greater history of doing this, amy, since you are part of the life. democracy now! is one of the few outlets that reports aggressively on this. it is snowing on us in regards to what is happening, because they want to view the fact of our reality through a preferred lens. when you begin shutting the voting public from t facts of our reality and what they actually are, d at the same time, any documentary release is quite literally criminalized, what happens next? chris: what happens next is -- i will let glenn, because he has written on this. i do not think the facebook is a whistleblower but a tool, and they are using her to justify the censors

a few weeks ago, a former facebook employee, frances haugen, turned whistle—blower to express her concernkers, which she claimed were evidence the trillion—dollar company harms children's mental health, stokes division, and puts profits before people. the company intentionally hides vital information from the public, from the us government and from governments around the world. in a statement on his facebook page, mark zuckerberg said of the allegations by his former employee: one of the criticisms of facebook is it has just grown too big. when that happened to google, google created a parent company — alphabet. and that's what facebook has done. it's created meta, an umbrella organisation for facebook, instagram, whatsapp and all its other businesses, which takes its name from the metaverse, the virtual reality domain that mark zuckerberg believes is the future of digital life. and it's all change at twitter, which has a new boss. a few weeks ago, jack dorsey announced — or rather tweeted — he is to resign from the company he created 16 years ago. chief technical officer parag agrawal ha

however, facebook whistleblower frances haugen revealed that on the very same day we released a reportmarch 24, facebook produced an internal study confirming that a tiny number of accounts were responsible for more than half of anti-vax content on their platform. so they were lying, while the american public was suffering under covid and people were dying. the members of this committee have seen the same tactic some social media executives time and time again. you have correctly determined and as have legislated in the uk, australia and other allied nations of social media compass cannot self regulate and we need new legislation. there is no silver bullet, that's right. section 230 shows the limitations to a single solution based on one core principle. it did not predict nor deal with the harms we are now seeing emanating from social media. there will need to be a range of approaches to transparency and accountability, to manage social media into place that balances dialogue, privacy, safety and prosperity. -- to nudge. the bills being considered today would collectively represent a b

one simple thing that frances haugen, the facebook whistleblower who was so brave in coming forward,k changed its rules so you are way more exposed to like groups that are amplifying political speech and hate speech, each groups you don't follow than you are to your own family and friends. these are choices because they wanted to lengthen the time we spend on the platform. they know they will lengthen our time if we are inside of conversations that are harsh, challenging, are negative. facebook is actually on the back end designed all of these ways to actually ensure that hate speech travels, to ensure that they can sort of create avenues for deeper discrimination. they have to actually be held accountable. if challenges happen on the back end, they can't wash their hands and say we're immune to it all. >> i know you're pushing for congressional action. what can people do? in the last minute here, what can a regular person do on this issue? >> facebook wants us to believe it is up to regular people. i want to say i think it's important that regular people need to reach out to their m

perspective now from former facebook executive frances haugen in her first interview since testifying before the house committee. frances, this reporting from donie o'sullivan shows that facebook is not only allowing posts that refer to the holocaust, but they making money from it. why is this happening? is that part of the business model? >> facebook's business model is conditioned on fixing problems after they find them. facebook has known since 2018, mark has publicbly made comments on it, mark zuckerberg, saying prioritizing content or ads based on their ability to provoke a reaction from you, which is usually the most extreme and polarizing content. it's dangerous because people are drawn to engage with extreme content. but mark said at the time, it's okay. ai will save us. the only problem is the ai misses lots and lots of problems. in the case of hate speech, only 3% to 5% of hate speech is caught. i won't be surprised if they had policies against anti-vaccine content like this that they let a similar amount of that content through. >> it's been almost two months since you spok

business model, that's something that... 0h, believe me, congressman, i've seen it and i've heard frances haugenistle—blower at facebook, talking about what the company knew about the damaging impacts of some of the products and services they provide on social media platforms. we are very well aware of that, but it is indeed interesting, is it not, that ms haugen also said she did not believe that the dismantling, the break—up of facebook would help one little bit? you may be barking at the wrong tree here. well, as i said before, i am in favour of competition and i'm in favour of making sure that we have a level playing field so that competitors can compete with these four companies. you keep talking about this heavy hand of government breaking up companies. i think what's important is that we allow competitors to give consumers choice, we allow competitors to give consumers the opportunity to make decisions that don't involve losing their privacy. we make choices based on whether we want, for example, with that facebook that we just talked about, whether it should only be for young women under

if not for courageous whistleblowers like frances haugen we wouldn't have hard evidence to prove that facebook knowingly, knowingly is mainstreaming extremism, inciting violence through its algorithms, and fracturing societies around the world. what if other tech companies, tech employees felt empowered and protected to expose wrongdoing when they saw it? that's why the protections on crystal ms. schakowsky injure ftc whistleblower act are so crucial. if platforms have meaningful motivation to fix the harmful algorithms identify hate, they won't do it. that's why the algorithmic justice and online transparency act that would protect consumers from harmful and discriminatory ai systems are really long overdue. so we applied that legislation as well. finally, just to stay ahead of the curve we've got to prioritize research. in august, adl fellow and nyu professor laura edelson was deplatformed on facebook hours after the company realized that she and her team were studying the role that facebook may have played a leading up to the gender six insurrection. platforms should not be able to

and facebook whistleblower, frances haugen, reacted to your reporting and how this disgusting materialodel is conditioned on fixing problems after they find them. facebook has known since 2018, mark has made comments on it, mark zuckerberg, saying prioritizing content or ads based on their ability to provoke a reaction from you, which is usually the most extreme and polar oizing conten. but mark said at the time, it's okay. ai will save us. only problem is, ai misses lot of problems. in the case of hate speech, only 3 to 5% of hate speech is caught. >> what is facebook saying about what you uncovered and don't they have, do they have a reasonable answer to what you were saying? which is hey, i found this stuff. we found this stuff. why can't you find this stuff and get rid of it? >> exactly. so when we asked facebook about this, the first two ads comparing the vaccine to the holocaust and u.s. nazi germany. facebook said they go against their rules and they won't let those run again. incredibly when it comes to the make hanging traitors great again post, facebook doesn't have a problem

i also spoke with francis hogan, that shaaban -- frances haugen and when i asked her about what more instagram could do to remove content like this glorifying eating disorders. she said that more human review is the key. according to her many reports are not investigated and artificial intelligence cannot successfully identify patterns and distribution points for problematic content. given that meadows platforms according to your own data have 3.6 billion monthly active users . that 15,000 reviewers would seem to pale in comparison to the , depth content of those 3.6 billion monthly active users would post. and if so, will your company commit to strengthening investment in human review? senator, thank you for the question. at a high level, people are better at nuance and technology is better at scale. we are going to continue to do so. >> i know that this hearing is focused mostly on youth. in how many countries as instagram available? >> instagram is available in over 70 languages. i don't know the number of the top of my head. it's available in 70 languages. >> how many are languag
