NOBODY IS GOING 2JAIL,UNLESS YOU'RE BLACC....STR8 UP

Why blame fb on how the ppl sharing their private life

I applaud her courage to publicly reveal the truth.

Notice how the people who HATE FREE SPEECH the most (CNN et. al.) agree with Ms. Haugen. Funny, huh? No. Not funny.

Sour grapes by a disgruntled former employee.

Unfortunately nothing will happen or change, just another day in the land of Murica we're everyday is a 💩 show circus

13th August will always be a day to remember all the souls that have left this world ever since HEBobiwine entered the journey of politics. And no justice has ever been served regardless of international protests UgandaIsBleeding POAstar VisitUganda

Killed in cold blood by the illegitimate current government of uganda which stole an election by the gun from HEBobiwine who was massively elected. The Youtube link connects it to this shot clip, evidence IntlCrimCourt need?

Some ugandan citizens suffer at the hands of these human rights abusers, and have cried to all responsible bodies to raise their voices but nothing is done. Imagine paying taxes to get such a treatment. UgandaIsBleeding VisitUganda

UN hrw as Museveni of Ugandan was addressing you on human rights related issues, his security agencies were busy re-arresting an innocent member of parliament who had been bailed out infront of his family members. The dictator lies all the time

How many Ugandans must die before global actors challenge Museveni?How can the rest of the world watch as a whole generation is systematically decimated? how'll u talk to us about democracy & human rights again? hrw IMFNews WHO WorldBank

The illegitimate president of Uganda 🇺🇬 always lies to the international community that he respects human rights yet his security agencies continue to do the opposite. UgandaIsBleeding StopSponsoringOurOppression guardiannews IMFNews UN

The illegitimate president of Uganda is really tired however much some of the super powers try to support him. He has violated human rights etc but no action has been taken. UgandaIsBleeding VisitUganda IMFNews WorldBank guardiannews

That took guts. Thank you for caring.

Haha

Mark Zuckerberg should be charged for his role im the insurrection

Yeah, yeah.. oh she's already missing fb much for sure!!! Oh not safe and blah blah... No! That's no true! Why noone talks about how much money through fb have been raised to help out lot of people in needs, charity's, etc why just complaining? You're not obligated to use fb. 🙄

Yeah they gone ctrl alt delete his ass 🤣🤣🤣

This lady open her mouth and all of the sudden Facebook platform went down, maybe the are wiping out all incriminatory digital evidence, who knows! Just saying!

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

And with her words Facebook and Instagram are down today

Hero

Facebook is toxic garbage

Good for her FB is to large.

You think is own by the Democrats and China . So they can put lies that benefit them .

DrSNWilson The world should send her flowers.

Facebook owes me nothing. It isn't a standard of communication nor is it my moral guide. People are people. If you're too weak to handle it, simply don't engage. How difficult can this possibly be?

This is ridiculous how you guys are putting everything on Facebook it is parents job to monitor what your child does not Facebook and if they kids are having problems with websites are doing things they should not do that is a parenting problem not a website problem

Who TF still uses FB?

I know it was a lot of low key moves being made

It isn’t clear at all that cnn is lobbying for more big tech censorship on behalf of some very powerful interests.

Thank you! They need to be held accountable!

what kills me about these frickin big companies is that whistleblower legislation has to exist at all - why can't they operate honestly - what the f--k is wrong with honesty.

Why does the media reveal the identities of whistleblowers? That surely puts them in danger.

Facebook knows what its doing. $$$$$

Swedish cartoonist Lars Wilkes, who created a controversial sketch of the Prophet of Islam, has died in a traffic accident near the southern Swedish town of Marquard. And went straight to hell.

Good more people should stand up to FB tell them to suck a dick !!!

Good for her. I have CNN on now.

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

Nothing we didn't know already. Tougher legislation is needed to make these platforms and its users who promote hate speech etc, accountable under the laws of every jurisdiction.

This is bad news for CNN

She is absolutely right. FB only is concerned about their own good rather than the good or welfare of the public. I truly hope they are fined big time and the gov. Starts to regulate and tax them! 😡

When the far left equals the far right….eyes open.

Nobody is going to stop using Facebook because of this story. With Facebook Business Suite people literally make their livings with FB ads. This story doesnt matter one bit. Just saying.

How about vetting those ads that are 90% scams to take your money?

What I s the story?

Brave. Inspiring.

We should organize a mass deactivation day. It would certainly get Zucks attention if hundreds of thousands of people deactivated their accounts on the same day.

'Facebook prioritizing profit over the public good' on CNN? Cat, meet kettle.

Facebook should use real identity with authentication of users so they remain exposed when misbehave.

Keep your social footprint clean!

Great job Frances! We applaud your testimony. You have more balls than the men in your industry.

1) None of this is news. I covered the actual problem better in 2) Going to the SEC as a whistleblower was a stretch and that SEC path offering a possible 10% payoff for any funds collected from Facebook is interesting.

I really feel love for her.. she looks so beautiful and sexy to me .. I want her badly, women like this are being murdered throughout our nation, authentic good beautiful and sexy women...

Pffft, purged FB about 2 years ago, don't miss it a bit.

Facebook = Evil

What? Facebook used it's algorithms to promote their own company? How dare they!

It's hilarious seeing the media turn people on Facebook. This is so predictable. They want everyone on Twitter where it's a left-wing cesspool and dissenting opinions are quickly silenced.

All I see are her legs.

No one is pressured to join social media it’s up to the individual .....we all have choices.

Facebook intentionally changed their algorithms to more frequently show content that would incite anger and rage because research showed angry users stay on the app longer. Disgusting.

White folks!

This article doesn’t address what role the government plays in this.

Hope she has protection.

Joe Biden: 'And there’s a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.' Joe’s mantra for 40 years.

She also sifted through the company's internal social network , called Facebook Workplace , for instances where she believed the company had failed to be responsible about users' welfare .

Oh shit!!

Protect her

Facebook is the worst..Off it 10 years now, had it when the .edu was necessary and dropped it after leaving college- created the precursor to twitter where too many idiots have a large platform to spew nonsense and believe it and show off lives they do not have

She said that she began thinking about leaving messages for Facebook's internal security team for when they inevitably reviewed her research activity .

She ☠️…

She's crazy in bed I bet

Whoa

So many pathetic people who didn’t even bother to read the article.

Why does that pencil neck geek remind me of JaredKushner? And Trump? Forget about it. Viscerally, he makes me hurl

Delete. Your. Facebook.

She is scheduled to testify before Congress on Tuesday .

And her information surely brought down the giant company and its founder…not even close!

cnn now will try to destroy her. JoeNBC are you going to let this happen?

FB will burn down anything just for the sake of profit.

She has also sought federal whistleblower protection with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Whistleblower protection not so important now, is it? Dox

The Facebook Whistleblower , Frances Haugen , says she wants to fix the company , not harm it .

Break up the big tech companies. Regulate them. Tax them. Enough is enough.

CNN sucks nothing but lies

You're MORE interested in the name than the content, aren't you..

FB is a poor communicator and is set up to be confrontational. Everyone can see posts all the time unless some blocks someone and the laughing emoji are setups for confrontation. Some media posters use this to their advantage to 'stir the pot' and FB allows it.

Protect her

Corporate responsibility: amazon can’t sell faulty products cvspharmacy can’t sell street drugs eBay can’t sell counterfeit bags uber can’t take on passengers with guns Facebook is doing all of the above incl allowing disinformation on covid19 and the Big Lie to flourish.

Get rid of the prejudice Facebook. Get rid of mark zuckerberg

Big nothing….zzzzzz. Vocal fry - may as well been housewives of Silicon Valley.
