Facebook whistleblower accuses company of harming children, Zuckerberg says her claims don't make sense
India TodayThings have not been all rosy for Facebook of late. Francis Haugen, who is a former employee turned whistleblower, has testified before the Senate committee about her experience in Facebook, and she also called on Congress to take strict action against the social media company for allegedly creating a toxic environment for teens on Instagram. The company's leadership knows how to make Facebook and Instagram safer but won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical profits before people. Reacting to Haugen’s accusations about selling harmful ads, Zuckerberg said in a blog post, “The argument that we deliberately push content that makes people angry for profit is deeply illogical. The moral, business and product incentives all point in the opposite direction.” Zuckerberg also said in his Facebook post that tech companies should build safer environments, experiences for young users instead of ignoring that young people use technology.
