Whistleblower Frances Haugen was a Meta employee until May 2021. She has provided a stream of company documents to the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), Wall Street Journal, New York Times, CBS "60 Minutes," and other organizations to show what she says are deep flaws at the giant social network. That includes not only the Facebook platform, but also Meta's smaller platforms including Instagram, which is heavily used by teens. In her news interviews and Congressional testimony, Haugen has criticized the company's focus on "angry, polarizing divisive content" as a way to boost engagement and profits. She says the platform's flaws are detrimental to the safety of children and democracy. Haugen joined the company in June 2019 and served on the Civic Integrity team, which focused on the platform's impact on global elections. She says she left the company earlier this year because she became frustrated with the company's lack of willingness to accept initiatives that would address the platform's flaws and improve the safety of the platform's users. In spring 2021, Haugen contacted John Tye, the founder of legal nonprofit organization Whistleblower Aid. She asked him about obtaining legal protection and the best course of action for making public thousands of pages of internal Meta documents. Tye agreed to represent her and Haugen filed for legal whistleblower protection with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Haugen's identity was revealed for the first time on Oct. 3, 2021 in an interview on 60 Minutes. Two days later she testified extensively before Congress.
