whistleblower Frances Haugen testified before the U.S. 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:"I'm here today because I believe Facebook's products harm children, stoke division and weaken our democracy.""Yesterday we saw Facebook taken off the internet.
"The company's leadership knows how to make Facebook and Instagram safer, but won't make the necessary changes because they put their astronomical profits before people.""I think we're going to look back 20 years from now and all of us are going to be like 'what the hell were we thinking' when we recognize the damage that it has done to a generation.""Your time of invading our privacy and preying on children is over. Congress will be taking action.
"Facebook is not interested in making significant changes to improve kids' safety on their platforms, at least not when that would result in losing eyeballs on posts or decreasing their ad revenues.""The damage to self-interest and self-worth inflicted by Facebook today will haunt a generation.""Our children are the ones who are victims. Teens today looking in the mirror feel doubt and insecurity. Mark Zuckerberg ought to be looking at himself in the mirror.
