The former company executive who previously leaked thousands of internal Facebook papers and testified before the US Senate and British parliament last year, told The Times that Zuckerberg and his senior team continued to “pursue growth at all costs” and found any detractors’ claims that Facebook could breed hatred and enmity hard to swallow.
Haugen called Zuckerberg “a boy prince” whose entire identity was bound up with his era-defining creation. Haugen said, “Can you imagine finding out your entire life’s work — it causes genocides? It’s an impossible thought.”, formerly the UK’s deputy Prime Minister and now president of global affairs at Facebook’s parent company Meta.
The British government last week published its Online Safety Bill, which includes latest efforts to regulate social media and clamp down on spreading hate and misinformation. Haugen stated her frustration with the Bill’s contents, urging further action was needed to force social media companies to redesign their algorithms to prevent sharing extreme material with users. She said, “Facebook’s documents are very clear that the shortest path to a click is anger.
In response to Haugen’s comments, Facebook told The Times it had spent $5billion on safety in the past year and continued to take “significant steps to fight the spread of misinformation.” It cited its recent steps to restrict the use of its platforms in Russia by state media.
