Facebook Whistleblower Frances Haugen Opening Statement

Frances Haugen testifies before the Senate Commerce Committee.

"I joined Facebook because I think Facebook has the potential to bring out the best in us. But I am here today because I believe Facebook's products harm children, stoke division and weaken our democracy. The company's leadership knows how to make Facebook and Instagram safer, but won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical profits before people. Congressional action is needed." close
