Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen testified before Congress on Tuesday, telling lawmakers the social media giant knew its apps were harming the mental health of some young users. Here are some comments from the committee hearing: FRANCES HAUGEN, FACEBOOK WHISTLEBLOWER
“I am here today because I believe that Facebook’s products harm children, fuel division and weaken our democracy.” “There is currently no one holding Mark (Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook) to account. The responsibility rests with Mark.â€
AMERICAN SENATOR AMY KLOBUCHAR, DEMOCRAT OF MINNESOTA “When they let 99% of the violent content go unchecked on their platform, including the preparation for the January 6 insurgency, what did they do? Now we know that Mark Zuckerberg was going to sea. “
AMERICAN SENATOR ROGER WICKER, REPUBLIC OF MISSISSIPPI “The children of America are addicted to their product. There is a cynical knowledge from these big tech companies that this is true.”
US SENATOR RICHARD BLUMENTHAL, DEMOCRACIST OF CONNECTICUT “The damage done to self-interest and self-esteem by Facebook today will haunt a generation. “
