Frances Haugen is a former Facebook employee turned whistleblower who recently spoke out about the company's harmful impact on society. In a 60 Minutes interview, she revealed internal documents showing that Facebook knows its platform has a negative effect on mental health, amplifies hate speech and misinformation, and prioritizes profits over safety.

Haugen also stated that Facebook is aware that its algorithm promotes divisive content and contributes to polarization, but the company chooses to prioritize engagement over safety. She believes that the company's leadership is aware of these issues but has failed to take meaningful action to address them.

Haugen called for increased regulation of social media companies and emphasized the need for more transparency and accountability. She also encouraged people to use social media in a more responsible way and to demand change from the companies that provide these platforms.
