What are Facebook Papers, Thousands of Internal Documents That Reveal the Depravity of Facebook?

In testimony to Congress earlier this month, Haugen said “Facebook products harm children, fuel division and undermine our democracy.”

“Corporate leadership knows how to make Facebook and Instagram more secure but will not make the necessary changes as they prioritize astronomical profits. Congressional action is needed. They will not solve this crisis without your help,” he added, urging lawmakers to take action.

Haugen ventured to testify because he believed, “We still have time to act. But we must act now.”

During a Senate Commerce subcommittee hearing poll, Haugen called for transparency about how Facebook persuades users to keep scrolling, creating multiple opportunities for advertisers to reach them.

“As long as Facebook operates in the shadows and hides its research from public scrutiny, it’s irresponsible,” said Haugen, a former product manager on Facebook’s civic misinformation team.
