Do not miss the talk of the "Facebook whistle blower" Frances Haugen via Zoom or watch the recording via YouTube.
Frances Haugen is a specialist in algorithmic product management, having wo rked on ranking algorithms at Google, Pinterest, Yelp and Facebook. She was recruited to Facebook to be the lead Product Manager on the Civic Misinfor mation team, which dealt with issues related to democracy and misinformatio n, and later also worked on counter-espionage.
During her time at Fac ebook, Ms. Haugen became increasingly alarmed by the choices the company ma kes prioritizing their own profits over public safety and putting people’s lives at risk. As a last resort and at great personal risk, Haugen made the courageous decision to blow the whistle on Facebook. The initial reporting was done by the Wall Street Journal in what became known as ‘The Fa cebook Files.’ Since going public, Haugen has testified in front of the US Congress, UK and EU Parliaments, French Senate and National Assembl y, Irish Oireachtas and German Bundestag. She has engaged with lawmakers in ternationally on how best to address the negative externalities of online p latforms.
