The former Facebook executive was in Brussels this week and spoke with L’Echo readers, particularly about the metaverse.

In the 4th episode of the En Clair podcast, we offer you a meeting with Frances Haugen.

Former Facebook employee turned whistleblower, the engineer was in charge of content moderation for the social network.

By organizing the leak of thousands of confidential documents, she demonstrated that the Palo Alto company was well aware of the negative impact of its algorithms, in particular on the mental health of adolescents present on Instagram, or harmful consequences of the virality of disinformation on the project of democracy.

How does she see Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse project? What are the risks and opportunities? Here are some of the questions Frances Haugen answers, in English, at the microphone of Roan Van Eyck.
