Q&A with Frances Haugen on becoming a whistleblower, leaving Facebook after moving to Puerto Rico due to health, Meta, plans to run simulated social networks
When the Wall Street Journal launched a series of explosive articles based on internal Facebook documents in September, people naturally wondered about the source. Tweets: @dlberes , @giladedelman , @parismarx , and @stevenlevy Tweets: @dlberes : “I think we need a lot more people working inside Facebook to fix Facebook's problems. I strongly encourage people to work at Facebook.” 🧐 https://www.wired.com/... Gilad Edelman / @giladedelman : “Facebook could fix all of this by releasing all these mythical positive documents that I didn't include.” https://www.wired.com/... Paris Marx / @parismarx : the funny thing is that haugen can grasp part of the fundamental problem: that capitalism drives facebook to prioritize profit and growth above all else. but she willfully ignores how this applies to the industry and shapes our technologies in a much broader way. https://twitter.com/... Steven Levy / @stevenlevy : Good to have a long conversation with whistleblower Frances Haugen, who I first met when she was a 22 year Googler. https://www.wired.com/...
