“Facebook’s own research says… Instagram is distinctly worse than other forms of social media,” former employee says
Former Facebook product manager turned whistleblower Frances Haugen filed multiple complaints to the Securities and Exchange Commission last month containing tens of thousands of pages of internal company research that she says prove the social media giant has lied about the effectiveness of its public efforts to remove misinformation, hate and violent content from its platform. In an interview with Scott Pelley on Sunday’s “60 Minutes,” Haugen identified herself publicly and said that the company’s own research details the harmful effects of, among other things, Instagram on teenagers and young women.
