Summary:
"The inside story of
one
woman's battles against Big Tech, by the
Facebook
whistleblower who is determined to help us all retake control of our lives. In 2021, when news outlets feasted on "the
Facebook
Files," Frances Haugen went public as the former employee who
blew
the
whistle
on the company by copying tens of thousands of p. of documents. She testified to Congress and spoke to the media. She was hailed at President Biden's first State of the Union Address. She made sure everyone understood exactly what the documents revealed:
Facebook
knew it had accidentally changed its algorithm to reward extremism and refused to fix it; it knew that its customers were using the platform to foment violence, to spread falsehoods, to diminish the self-esteem of young women, and more. But
how
was it that Haugen was the only employee at the company who dared to step forward?" --Publisher's description.
