Oh bollocks; I've just seen a trailer for #TheSocialReckoning - a dramatic retelling by #AaronSorkin of the #FrancesHaugen (https://alecmuffett.com/blog?s=Haugen) leaks - and it'll completely derail any sane discussion of #OnlineSafety for a year. We don't need this right now.

🚨 Facebook whistleblower explains the META Antitrust case. #FrancesHaugen says breaking up META would improve safety & more. In 2012 when Zuckerberg bought Instagram it was a much smaller company… FTC would not have approved it as it did if they had known Zuckerberg’s plans

Why are so many big tech whistleblowers women? Here is what the research shows
Frances Haugen, Timnit Gebru and Janneke Parrish are at the forefront of a group of high-profile women calling out big tech. Is there a connection between their gender and their role as whistleblowers?

That's different from what #FrancesHaugen said about #Facebook data research & their algorithm in 2017.

Maybe it's changed, but the amount of anger based posts I see in my light engagement with social media points to anger being selected for. But I'm only one user so I could be an outlier.

Inspiring words from @FrancesHaugen today: "The mitigation of online harms relies heavily on users flagging content that violates their own terms and conditions."

A striking example from @FrancesHaugen:

When internal discussions happened about turning off Facebook features that were known for accelerating harm in countries at risk, Zuckerberg intervened.

"With regards, if this touches our core engagement metrics, we will not touch it."

Data science moment from @FrancesHaugen. She explains that Facebook's stock prizes only falls down when there are
➡️ talks about regulation;
➡️ when Facebook announces investment in Safety.

No market incentives for the public interest.

Beware of loopholes: one of the top 5 takeaways of @FrancesHaugen hearing yesterday in IMCO.

Trade secrets and media exemptions would damage efforts to open the platforms’ black boxes.

Hearing it straight from the Facebook whistleblower in her testimony before Congress today was so damning. @FrancesHaugen was fantastic. It's worth watching... @facebook's own research of their users & algorithms is shocking... https://t.co/lLvcQ7U9bU https://t.co/Mmjzs4lq8s
Whistleblower Frances Haugen Calls on Congress to Regulate Facebook
Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen testified at a Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection hearing on the business practices and decisions of the social media company, and how to protect children online with privacy regulations. Ms. Haugen said that as long as Facebook is hiding its research from public scrutiny, it would be unaccountable, and that congressional action is needed. Lawmakers' questions to the witness focused on how Facebook targets children and uses algorithms to promote content that the company knows is harmful.

Écoutez @FrancesHaugen et assurez-vous que la #DSA tient les plateformes responsables de leurs dangereux algorithmes. Se concentrer uniquement sur les contenus illégaux met en danger les citoyens européens. @charanzova @svenja_hahn @ArbaKokalari @Andreas_Schwab @GeoffroyDidier

I really admire how @FrancesHaugen is breaking down technical content really nicely. Her terminology, differentiating nuances between "how advertisers can ask to target, and how the Facebook algorithms learn to target", etc. Very understandable.

The emergency algorithm included 63 “break-glass” interventions introduced by Facebook’s civic integrity team around the time of the 2020 US presidential election. The team, which included whistleblower @FrancesHaugen (see Facebook Files), was disbanded after the election.

Frances Haugen proved Meta KNEW Instagram harmed 1 in 3 teen girls & buried it. They act like tobacco execs who knew cigarettes killed. Kids are being used as fuel for a $164B machine. Enough. 🔥 #FrancesHaugen #ProtectKids #TechHarm #Resist #DeleteMeta
