Live: Facebook Whistleblower Testifies at Senate Hearing | NBC News
I understood 15 years ago that FACEBOOK was not safe and I cancelled my account. I don't have FB nor Instagram. If you want to know about me, you need to give me an old-fashion phone call. If you don't have time to do that, I don't want your friendship neither do I need it.
Same here. As Mike Tyson once said social media just allows someone to say something without the risk of getting punched in the face
🤣🤣👍
@@butchstaz5109 imagine getting punched by Mike Tyson
i mean you are using youtube right know, do you know YT have the same algorithm?
@@Doriloco How many things have you posted to your TH-cam account? What kind of comments and likes do you get on these personal things you post? I'm pretty sure TH-cam Algorithm works a but differently. Whereas social media apps like FB and IG are designed so that many people can not mentally detach their own identity and self worth from their activity on the apps.
I deleted Facebook and Instagram in 2019...one of the best decisions I've ever made
I lasted like 3 weeks. Took me longer to delete my account.
Thinking about doing the same.
Deleted mine 5 years ago. You lose interest completely after the first couple years, not even a temptation to have one again
Ditto
😂 delete youtube as well..
The country urgently needs whistleblowers in the health care organizations, public and private.
SOUNDS LIKE BIG GOVERNMENT TO ME.
No it doesn’t it just needs good parents
Whistleblowers are the true Patriots of there time.
They are - the mainstream media and big tech are covering them up. th-cam.com/users/veritasvisuals
In big pharma especially!!!!
I have a solution: it's the one I use - don't use Facebook OR Instagram. At all. Ever.
It's a worthless, negative, unrealistic presentation of how others live, and incites us to try to emulate them.
Well said
True
I enjoy it. I get to see pictures of the family I had to move states away from while also keeping them updated on us. I think its an amazing tool to keep in contact with others.
@@Jennifer-iz4qq That's what we all started out using it for, but politicians decided they would use it as a way to campaign and attack the other side. It's kinda ridiculous to see these politicians acting like they aren't responsible for what it became themselves when they were flooding it with paid ads and using social media in general as a way to spread negativity.
@@standandfight5573 yeah it has changed. I started my account when MySpace was still popular so I have had my profile for quite a while. I keep my privacy settings set at friends and family only so I really don't see much of that except when Trump was in office and it left with him for the most part. Politics used to be a discussion behind closed doors and it was much better than way.
Frances Haugen, is really mothering billions of kids. 90% of parents don’t know what’s happening unless we see behavioral changes happening with our kids. We need more courageous leaders like Frances. May God bless you!
We need more whistleblowers
The World in Chaos Even You, but
"Be Still "
by Gooden and Cohen
I've come a long way still have a longer way to go it's been a Lonely Road but I know I'm not alone sometimes the going has gotten tough and I was down could not get up but when my Sin I had enough Jesus took me by the hand
Be still and know that I am God
With me there's nothing that's too hard
I'll get you through
I've left it all behind
To find the one above
I had to die inside
To Forgive and learn to love
I've found that letting go
Turns faith into a rope and so now I'm holding on to the only one who gives me hope.
Be still and know that I am God
With me there's nothing that's too hard
I'll get you through it

Why
? Ahahaha..proven .fake whistleblower? We need more? Real whistleblower , your cult attacks them? So pathetic you pro war shill.
and whistleblower protection w/teeth.
Propaganda networks like NBC only report on whistleblowers findings if it benefits their agendas.
Thank you for the truth.
Pure GREED ! How much money is enough ! Why does anyone need more money than they can spend in 20 lifetimes ???
Greed, power, selfishness !!!
Facebook could help so many, truly needy people ! People with real needs, not the entitled.
True, they certainly could but as dar as what it became we can't blame FB completely. Companies who use FB as an advertising platform could simply stop buying ad space. Also politicians and PACS have been incredibly guilty of pouring money into FB ads and they have been responsible themselves for making it a toxic political platform that took over the entire thing.We couldn't check in without seeing a newsfeed full of political ads and memes for the longest time so quite frankly to see these politician behaving as if they don't have personal responsibility for how it influenced elections and how they were perfectly willing to participate in that is about the biggest form of hypocrisy we've seen them being guilty of to date. I see far less people on my friends list sharing political posts and memes now than I do actual politicians, political pacs and other politically affiliated organizations doing so. After fact checking took hold, and trump losing the election, it seems folks finally started taming that behavior down and went back to sharing posts about their personal lives, posts about family and local happenings or whatever, where we had a long run of regular people engaging in nothing but politics whether it was sharing links and memes, starting and joining political groups , or just making their own negative political posts and that was being done on an extremely hight level by people of all partisan persuasions. Only they are responsible for what they decided to engage in and regardless of Facebook's role as a SM platform they planted the seeds for losing friends and family over it all by themselves for the last 12 or 13 years as it just got worse and worse during trump's campaign and term as president. Just saying, making a profit was something we knew Zuckerberg was going for when he took FB public and the politicians and pacs were more than happy to flood it with negative politics and misinformation. They didn't raise an eyebrow until they found out there were Russian trolls at work to influence American voters and the whole Qanon nonsense, then all the sudden they called Zuckerberg in and demanded fact checking. I;m not sure how these Senators can now pretend they aren't responsible for their own willingness to engage in that themselves now. Maybe they should have thought to police themselves and their pacs before it got to this point. As for all us regular folks? Well we can stop ourselves from doing it too or we always have the option of not using it anymore.

Makes no sense? If you aren’t paying then how are we the product. It’s simple
@@bignasty1647 Basically it based on what you do on social media, you activity on social media is recorded and put into an algoritm that read what kind of your activies you do in social media, then the algorithm start putting certain products/commercial into your social media based on your activites, thats how facebook and other social media got profit from (since you know, they don't charge us to use their social media), they selling data of our activies to other companies, political campaigns or some crazy conspiracies.
@@bignasty1647 What is the product then if it’s not us? How can they profit without charging the “customer?” Why is Facebook a thing, and such a big thing, that covers the whole world like a web? The answers r simple.

Eyes open.
Thank God for stupid people, without them the left wings movemnt to end free speech would fail. Andi your dedication to doing your part in this indeavor is crucial - be sure to let people know you helped, at least while you are still allowed to speak.
Considering I just had a comment deleted by YT a few hours ago, I wouldn’t be surprised. The risk this woman has taken to bring forth this information is not a small thing. It sounds like she is meeting with other groups to discuss additional concerns. I have a hunch First Amendment violations already occurring will be a topic of conversation.

I was a part of the first Facebook “class” in 2004. Quit in 2008. Best decision ever. F Facebook.
She is a smart cookie, the government should hire her for these issues... just saying.
Especially in her team skill. Did you see the senators face when he realized his question was a reality?
Not really
Right so she could dictate your life.
@@provishky if you took the time to listen to the hearing, you would better understand the point they are addressing.
It would also support countries like China and Russia staying out of our personal information
I hope she is safe after this!!
I wouldn't jump to conclusions. There's no indication that
other Facebook employees and constituents are going to cartoonishly 'put out a hit order' on Ms. Haugen.
Besides... that would probably be THE most transparent move in the history of anti-trust scandals (even more so than Jeffrey Wigand's situation)... and--lol... ...
....transparency isn't exactly Facebook's primary strength! 😂🤣😂
She is in, she's payed by zuckerberg to do this.
Hope they offer a job for business plan approach and others join her.
She wouldn't be at much risk with the system protection
Why wouldn’t she be safe? She’s a woman with blond hair and blue eyes. And white skin. 🤪🤣
Everybody acting so shocked but you knew. You all knew. You knew exactly what you were buying into when you gave Zuck every shred of information on you and allowed him to make billions selling that information.
Too true
Yes exactly
Many people do not know when they get phishing messages on messenger.
@CodeNation Why do you misspell words to hide your message? If you're going to be bigoted don't be a coward about it.
@John Krumwiede well they say he stole the idea from his own friend and cut him out. Can’t be too nice a guy.
I am so proud of this whistleblower. There should be more like her and the government should support them in every way possible to keep them safe.
I sincerely hope their promises of safety and no retribution holds true.
Her life has been changed forever.
She deserves a job...

Parents play the most important role in helping a child develop good self esteem. It isn't good to rely on others to do this.

@@coolmadmike this is to help censor not stop the censorship, and all under the pretense of protecting children when they don't care at all about them.
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK OUR ADVERTISING CORP
@@RosyOutlook2 EXACTLY!!!!
It's about time.
As an adult, since my life was indirectly (and adversely) affected by Facebook in a dramatic way over the past 5-8 years... I applaud ALL actions to completely reform 'social media', and DO AWAY with everything being a toxic, click-bait laced, popularity contest which leaves human beings distraught, isolated and ruined ... all in the name of a couple bucks in a suit & tie's pocket.
Especially when it comes to children. I have a young daughter, and... I'd NEVER allow her to create social media accounts. Never. Not under these conditions.
Ive been teaching tech since 2000- spent years teaching web safety and security classes, NONE of my students listened and all of them have been damaged. We have buried them over the years from suicide, they've been stalked, harassed, engaged in selfharm and diagnosed with mental illnesses as a result of their newly found addiction to social media. they became stalkers, they were indoctrinated and radicalized to bizarre extreme ideologies... and we knew this would happen decades ago.
I understand and resonate. 😓
I won't elaborate nor extrapolate, but, someone whom I deeply cared about had been addicted to social media, popularity, 'status', 'celebrity lifestyle' & celebrities in general (+ 'image') for yeeeeaars--even prior to meeting her.
It adversely affected her life, and there was severe collateral damage all along the way. 😕
I ALSO used to teach youth (ages 7-16 mostly), and, by the time I decided to abandon it (I worked for myself), it seemed crystal clear that listening and learning skills had fallen victim to... something else.
Something indescribable.
Heya No one star. as a none user of FB. Would it change the way you did use Facebook, if all the users had payed a 1 usd over bank transfers only, so FB had no alias users on their platform, only true and full names on their social platform. not to show, but just had them stored. so they knew the full names on their users??? would that stop the mis-use of users, or make the user more of a target for addones
I agree with you No one star. Social media is dangerous for children, adults as well as far as that goes. Lots of cyber bullying with teens. Sad, sad.
@@ThatGirl-tg7wd I had an involved conversation with my 20 year old son, regarding the guilt, responsibility, accountability I lacked back then. He didn't seem to understand. I am at fault. Not just fb & other apps. Does that not count? I can't completely blame an app for my parenting. It's hard for me to wrap my mind around all this. I choose not to have these apps., but also realize they don't necessarily target me. Oh the chaos!
During break, WILL SOUND ENGINEERS PLEASE FIX THESE MICROPHONES+TURN THEM UP SO, PEOPLE WITH NORMAL HEARING CAN LISTEN TO THIS TESTIMONY??

Imagine planting your own whistleblower to CENSOR MORE!!!
Interesting view.... certainly makes me think more 🤯
I have deleted mine already
Interesting. I especially loved the part where he kept saying, "Facebook valued their own bank account more than they did their customers." He kept saying it like it was a bad thing. I'm confused because I thought that's what him and the other politicians in Washington did. It's bad when other people do it but not when y'all do it? Ok, so does that mean after Big Tech you're going to start going after politicians on both sides? Trust me, sir, to borrow a phrase, "They care more about their own bank accounts than they do their voters." So, don't be a hypocrite here. Go after the politicians who work for and protect corporate interests over their voters.
What God awful political theatre is this?
I do agree with you THAT SOME politicians fit into these catorgry but not all. there are some out there hoping to align their pockets when facebook needs to lobby heavily about certain issues once they are regulated but Facebook does need to be regulated.
There are other algarythim control facts put in here like the voting and shot information, which for yrs ppl have been trying to make Zuck accountable for (Trump) but few would sign on. The real issue here is the eating disorder delemma that Zuck algorithms purposely bombard target search for, young girls because of their age, even when they look for healthy recipes or diets. Then the AI algorithm, or other "friends" (actually VICTUMS), will track success at killing themselves slowly thru constant messaging holding each other accountable. Lots of info on how to trick parents and authorities (if caught stealing food say you have ED etc etc). Most times victums evade detection well into the brain changing phase. Monitoring AI on any level should be a concern to all of us. It's nice it picks music and t v programs for us but the evil of AI is serious (profitable to MZ). The AI (Zuck makes billions off of) searches, finds, destroys these girls lives (some males also), and their families. This is the most deadly mental disorder in the planet, leading to death. Zuckerberg at this moment is sailing international waters figuring his next move. This desease hits a family no matter voting, conspiracy, net worth. This is a desease that parents are NOT allowed to get help for their kids even if there was a treatment center available, and there is in only a few states but the sick child must want to go and they usually die first. Call the 800 number in yr area and ask questions, it's probly states away. There is a loooong list to get in.
He has gotten rich from killing teens pre teens and starting an epidemic of self harm addiction.
Eating disorders include other forms of self mutilation also.......
Try to take a kid off a cell phone or off line they'll fail school. The targeting needs to stop. This what it's about.
At the beginning of the hearing the Senator says "He's received bone chilling stories from parents......"
ED (eating disorder name on sites) is an Evil Demon.
No joke.
Why Doesn't Sarah Sanders get any the blame all these problems started when she gets their and its her job as CEO to manage the company
@@lt2339 I agree with about the evils of E.D., but come on. I guess I was raised a little too old school by my parents, but Facebook should not be the only target here. Yes they've been targeting people with many different things, however, why are we so quick to let parents off of the hook here? What is with this epidemic of the last 10-15 years where we blame every child issue there is on EVERYTHING but parenting? If stuff like this happened in the 90's, parents would've been the first to be called out. I was born in 1988 and I'm 33. I have 2 kids of 12 and 9. There are several ways to monitor what your kids are doing on the internet. Even if they're not in your home. I have apps and services through our cell provider that allows me to see where the kids are at all times and if they've used cellular data, I can monitor any sites they've visited or apps they've used. If they're at home on wifi, my modem also keeps a record of every individual device that connects to it and what that device was doing on the internet for a period of 5 days before the oldest data is erased. I can literally go in and see like "10/13/21 2:35.28PM EST This device opened Facebook.
10/13/21 2:35.30PM EST This Device Liked a post on Facebook." That sort of thing.
When did we stop monitoring and protecting our kids? Facebook needs to face some music, but IMO I think parents need a wake up call as well.
Not all politicians are corrupt, the same applies to law enforcement officers. Anyone with common sense actually knows this fact; regardless of political affiliation or ethnicity. The corruption is rampant; the list of current offenders is long. Facebook has crossed the line and yes it’s a bad thing. 🇺🇸
When Facebook went down for just 5hours life almost stood still in Europe. 😀🏃
We aren’t being forced to use Facebook
No but most companies have their lives tied to it and home owners actually control thermostats among other electronic through it.
Just nuts
We have no alternative many are ignorant of the evil being done.
So many "social media influencers" are also posting videos about their mental health. They are internet celebrity/multi-millionaires because of social media, but it's social media that is making them depressed.
Yes, I have noticed that too. That goes to show that as parents and adults we need to have the final say and responsilibilty in our welfare and our children welfare. There has to be a balance in EVERYTHING in life. Do not be sucked in so far, that something begins to affect your mental health. The Bible talks about the seven deadly sins: gluttony is one.
Exactly. And... these 'influencers' are so deeply steeped in the cycle of content creation... they're COMPLETELY UNAWARE that their mental instabilities are sourced from the very platforms which they are trapped upon.
Toxic feedback loops + lack of awareness = individual meltdowns. 😕
Social media makes these platforms a place you can never be satisfied for even a moment in your life it seems. That is why the behaviour of those that have it all is so odd. They are being sublimely told they haven’t done as much as [blank] and all that time and work is nothing

Thats what FB does! They ALWAYS MINIMIZE THE FINDINGS!
PLUS, TO HAVE THEIR OWN INTERNAL RESEARCHERS DOING THEIR OWN RESEARCH IS LUDICROUS!
It's absolutely fine for internal research to be conducted.
What is *NOT* fine is for internal research to either supercede or 'replace' EXTERNAL investigation.
Obviously, the current laws actually PREVENT external analysis. Ms. Haugen even noted that particular (sad) irony.
It's like having drug lords 'investigate themselves', only to report: 'NO APOLOGIES REQUIRED. Business as usual. #GoneFishin'" 🙄
@@Novastar.SaberCombat Its like having murderers investigate themselves and find "no wrongdoing" coupled with "qualified immunity"
It sure is
I'm so glad she stepped up. Her testimony wasn't exaggerated nor did she cross lines she had no experience in. She provided internal documents shared widely and handled Cruz political topic with grace.
I hope more come forward and if anything, they, the engineers work together on a committee to support regulations long past due.
What's been asked is possible but the topic is one deep rabbit hole.
You echoed my thoughts
She’s a schill. Other people would be hounded to death and investigated by the media. Smoke, fluff and broken mirrors.
😤😤😤
I admire her bravery!
She’s a Trojan Horse for more censorship. Project Veritas is where authentic whistleblowers go - not 60 Minutes.
Speaking of protecting children, someone should look into why snapchat has a map that pings kids' specific locations down to the apartment number 🙃
So predators... I mean their parents and their friends can find them at the drop of a hat. Money talks and bs walks. Predators are everywhere and many of them hide with in plain sight I mean so that's exactly why so predators and then also friends and family can find whoever they want in a heartbeat and Also do so unbeknownst to the prey they are stalking.
There's an insane amount of money in human trafficking both coming in and going out. We're all actively looking the other way if we don't acknowledge this.
And also let's say we get rid of all of that and we make it harder for traffickers to find children in their locations, they'll still find another way. But yeah I don't think any of these humongous companies apps whatever need to be making it any easier for them and I wish they wouldn't but like my sister says pee in one hand and wish in the other and see which one gets full first... We just got to be proactive and educate our children as much as we possibly can on these things. Knowledge is power right? Okay maybe I'm trying to convince myself but I'm just sayin
What type of 💩⁉️
It’s a option for anyone that has Snapchat… it happens if you have that option on… turn it off and it won’t ping your location
They don't do it for just kids ......every user.....it's also optional and when you make an account is actually set to off from the get-go......so if they turn it in it's in them....also only friends can see your snap location IF it's even turned on which means that person had to have added them as a friend.....report more fake news Karen
@@Jeagernotsarah What say we make it as HARD as possible for Predators to find them, instead of HOW EASY?
A "smartphone" will never substitute for a parent a child or teen knows better than to cross by ignoring them.
Wow! Absolutely eye opening and breathtaking in scope. So many excellent and thoughtful questions and answers. I’m so concerned for my 13 yr old granddaughter even more. We all must be informed and pray all the time for our children and grandchildren.
firstly, you don't give them a smartphone before they're old enough, and you monitor and block their access to downloading apps. my 2 went through years of hating me for restricting their access, and they ended up burying friends before graduating high school. they will never thank you, but you will have them to hug in the end. Ive been a tech teacher for 2 decades, there are many ways parents aren't aware of, to limit access and to download and see their childrens' activities. it's become almost impossible to monitor once you GIVE the access to a phone, but you have some control through your providers and if you download some apps that block them from activity
i agree: many excellent and thoughtful questions and answers.
I disagree however that praying for change is gonna save your granddaughter from harrm: Parents, grandparents and society as whole are ultimately responsible and should take action by holding the companies and their shareholders accountable.
So vote for people that want to address these problems and don't take money from Facebook for their political campaigns.
Educate them how fake mainstream news is
@@rareroots the right wing media of the last two decades didn't do much good either. Just more fast opinions and no facts...

Nice Job Lady ! THANK YOU so MUCH !
Its a shame and sad to know that, no matter how successful a business is…there’s someone out there working on shutting it down. This is a good example.
They deserve it.
They can't control the algorithms now, How are they going to control them after singularity? I am VERY concerned where this AI is headed. We are setting ourselves up for a he'll of a fall.
I am also.. She did at one point say that fb's artificial intelligence isn't "intelligent", which I think is true. Idk the extent of your coding knowledge but I think the algorithms they use are basically codes that provide parameters for the processors that guide them to make decisions. The full extent of their capabilities are limited by the original coding, which is good 👍
I studied civil engineering a few years ago and had to learn some basic algorithm and coding languages like MATLAB and Excell VBA so that's the extent of my understanding of computer learning.. It's not alot, but it's certainly a decent working understanding.
I agree with Musk, Micho Kaku, and what sounds like you that the capabilities of AI are projected to become more independent in the near future, so the time to set rules/regs to counteract that stuff is now!
I'm just saying all this to hopefully calm anxiety, but not to stop the movement toward ensuring future computers don't escape our control!
Yes FB intent is all wrong. Life is so much much better without it.
I agree Cate. Not just FB…. All social media. If you ask yourself WHY we, as humans, have been going down a horrible path of destruction…. What is wrong with the world, or at least America…. What’s changed over the years to bring us where we are today as a United States …. Ask yourself that…. Most of it points to social media. Which isn’t really so social anymore…. Most have some sort of agenda…. it does way more harm than good. Do away with all of it…
our students lack real life friends or outdoor activities because of their fulltime engagement with social media. It's a multifaceted problem that is creating socially inept, naive and emotionaly desensitized teens who become the new adult community. They then lack any boundaries or a ceiling for tolerance of violence and cruelty and their mental health has been tragically damaged befor they even had a chance to Develop personality and identity

The country urgently needs whistleblowers in the health care organizations, public and private.
I stepped away from Facebook in July. I felt a negative cumulative effect from the platform, watching normally calm and collected people turn into emotionally angry individuals, regardless of the fact we were all on the same page. In other words, Facebook has become extremely toxic. I can only imagine just how destructive it and Instagram are for young women and girls.
First of all , it’s “cumulative”, not “accumulative”. Secondly you either never leave the house or you are not very observant if you think that “we are all on the same page.”
Thirdly, why do you only care about “young women and girls”? What about ‘young men and boys’? Or should their oftentimes equal if not deeper suffering just be ignored in favor of exclusively focusing on the suffering of your gender? 🤪 If it hadn’t been for a male member of the species you wouldn’t be spouting your antipathy towards men and general ignorance here right now, would you? So maybe you should cut the male gender some slack for giving you that privilege? 🤪 Just a thought.
@@meself349, I fixed it for you. Why don't you take a break and stop being such an angry and combative individual? I don't have antipathy towards men, I'm addressing the widely shared discovery on the impact Instagram has on females in general. If it would sooth your unhinged reaction to my comment, I do care about boys/men, I'm very close to the two young men I raised. Now go take a nap.

This is all political theatre. A distraction, if you will. I kept hearing about Facebook valuing their bank account more than their customers. Isn't that what these politicians do? So are they going to go after the politicians who protect corporate interests next or are they gonna continue to prove day in and day out that only the elite few can play their game? See, it's ok when they do it, but others? Omg what hypocrisy.

We need better whistleblower protections...and we need to change a lot of stuff in this country, including but not limited to how social media is allowed to work.
If the whistle blower exposes information harmful to the authoritarian agenda, then whistle blower is labeled a spy, Russian agent, and may be tried under the espionage act like they tried to do with Edward Snowden and Julian assange
How can you be more protected than this woman? She was rushed in front of congress and the msm overnight.
Real whistleblowers are not protected so well, which should tell you that this woman is not who she appears to be.
Julian Assange, for example, is still being held captive and he actually informed us. This woman has said nothing that we didn't already know.
@@coolmike1538 not trying to argue but from what I have read it was a revalation she was considering when she found the documents over 5 months ago, and she has been working with certain people since then deciding what to do...so not exactly over night...and as for Julian Assange and Snowden and Manning. I agree that the bar is not level. It may be because the politicians have had a vested interest in social media wrangling for a while...and have had a hard time getting traction. Who knows why they do what they do...but in my mind if you are working somewhere and you run across or are shown stuff that puts people in direct harm then you should be able to blow the whistle and never get in trouble...but there needs to be a legit way to blow said whistle...not just blab it all over the media which in cases like fb and all the wikileaks stuff would and was a matter of national security which could and may have done more harm than good. I think there should be a proper channel to go through...one outside the reach of the people you are blowing the whistle on...
@@Kai-Made my point is that she is not blowing any whistles.
We agree that true whistleblowers should have a means to get the truth out, but my sense is that the whole idea of "whistleblowers" is being used as a weapon against us, against the liberty that comes with a free and open internet.
Think about it... monopolistic companies which have the means and desire to censor and social engineer, but face certain competition from smaller more libertarian platforms have a vested interest in using the government to maintain hegemony.
She is a plant. She came to congress with a policy wishlist that might as well have been written by the tech oligarchs themselves- create a new governmental agency where leaders from the various platforms can jump in and help "regulate" the competition away, and then jump back into the large corps when they want to get their kickbacks.
This one is evil, and it seems people are falling for it all over again.
Thank you Frances for coming forward and thank you senators for your support. We need more whistleblowers to come forward now. The safety of our children, our country, and all of the people all over the world matters! It's time to put all of our safety before profit. I am so glad to see senators supporting reforming our systems that have neglected our most vulnerable populations. I have been following the brave female gymnasts that came forward with senators support, and I have hope that real change and growth is starting to happen within our most vital structures. I am so grateful for Frances's honesty, integrity and urgency to take action by shining a light on the shadows of the big tech social media giant.

the real problem is all of this was blatantly obvious in the first place, it took a snitch for you to think about correcting it
I think the only way Facebook will listen is to pass the good laws and if Facebook still breaks those new laws make Facebook pay for that.
Just remember that if the punishment of a law is a fine, that's just the financial amount that's legally required to break it. Fines for rich people are just what it costs to legally break the law.

For every kid harmed by instagram.. there is a kid helped by it as well. My adult daughter credits it for helping her realize she was not the "only one" feeling a certain way in her teens...she saw most kids are worried about the same exact things as she was and those emotions were, in fact, normal. Growing up I sure would have appreciated this.
I understand how these girls feel. Even I have witnessed the toxicity on Instagram. Even a person can feel the toxic energy on that platform. Instagram loves to promote toxicities and perfections. A sick reflection of American culture. This kind of mindset spreads in other parts of the world. Facebook and Instagram should be charged for other things such as disabling so many accounts for no reasons, shadow-banning body positive/women of color/LGBT content, banning pro-Palestinian activists, siding with white and male supremacists, allowing hate groups to form on these platforms, and the list goes on.
If something causes as much hark as good, what's the point?
The same exploitation is also present on Microsoft and other online gaming platforms including the encouragement and empowerment of hacking and underage use

I've come a long way still have a longer way to go it's been a Lonely Road but I know I'm not alone sometimes the going has gotten tough and I was down could not get up but when my Sin I had enough Jesus took me by the hand
Be still and know that I am God
With me there's nothing that's too hard
I'll get you through
I've left it all behind
To find the one above
I had to die inside
To Forgive and learn to love
I've found that letting go
Turns faith into a rope and so now I'm holding on to the only one who gives me hope.
Be still and know that I am God
With me there's nothing that's too hard
I'll get you through it

Who
Aha, Mr Zuckerberg is "Q"
I am a fifty year old marries woman with two children ages 28 & 16. My sons are 12 years apart.
My older son was in jr high school when FB rolled out. He was semi active on it, but they still got out and played football, basketball, etc.
My youngest is thrust in the middle of high school. I hear him and his friends talking and making fun of girls who air their “dirty laundry” on Facebook. My youngest son is battling weight problems, and seeing these people who look like they should be on a billboard or magazine cover as his measuring stick.
I know because I feel it myself.
Ive been on FB since 2009. And I don’t get on much anymore, due to the people who use it to talk about others, create drama, air their political opinions and fight with others for the same.
While I enjoy seeing my old friends, their kids and their kid’s kids, I still feel the Internet is the downfall of our country.
We were all just fine without it.
It causes marriage problems for people, jealousy and even people angry with others assuming if you don’t know what is going on in their lives, accused of an assumption “you must have seen it on Facebook.” No. No I don’t.
I rarely ever get on Instagram bc all I end up viewing are some commercials selling clothing, makeup, or the Kardashians. I couldn’t care less.
I am however highly entertained by TikTok bc its funny. It’s informative and I don’t know anyone on there.
Ive made new friends. But again, it’s something I enjoy at minimum. I don’t have time yo sit for hours and waste time only to go down a rabbit hole of Joe Schmoe’s sister-in-law’s battle with her neighbors. Or see how many people showing their best selves. Not the real, raw people we really are, sitting in our robes snickering and rolling our eyes at those who appear “happy”. Then in a matter of months or years, they are announcing their nuptials with someone else. And really, who cares? I suppose we all are guilty of oversharing at some point. And we pump the brakes and realize, I’m watching the same ppl, with their pawpaw happy birthday in Heaven, their doggie who passed ten years ago, the same posts every year. It’s boring! Eventually these kids will grow up and realize that there are all kinds of ppl everywhere. We see them flexing their new Mercedes, their lake houses and new boats. Women with their lips blown up ten sizes too full. The end all and be all of social media is, IT HAS ALL BEEN DONE. Our kids will get that. They grow up, they get on with life. You cannot control people.
We all will still be curious, some of us happily and others sad to view the “have & the have nots.” But what is important to see is that are more people struggling and just want to be a part of something. How that is decimated is no different with social moreas. There are still classes, neighborhoods, cities and countries and we vary far and wide.
Some of us are chunky, some of us are thin. Some of us are beautiful and others disgusted with ourselves. We cannot do one thing about that.
We can talk to our kids, and people can stand up and tell people what is right and what is wrong with leading children down a path of jealousy, fear of missing out, being uninvited.
That is LIFE. We have to talk to our kids, teach them that what they are viewing should come with a warning. But at the end of the day, being ourselves is who we are. We all make up this world and we just all happen to be here at the same time! How it all happened seems unimaginable. One doesn’t feel anyone would target others. Try to explain that to a child. They don’t care, they just want to be a part of this social media giant. They want to be with their friends. They should not be allowed to “watch” or “target” anyone for any reason. I pray the changes that should be made, will be. But realistically, we need to be careful, better, and balance time online, PERIOD. Less is more and moderation in all indulgence is so important.
And if we cannot do that, what else is there left to do?
Sounds like you love the internet too smh
Well said!
Ive been waiting for this moment since ever. Thank you for taking the first step.

Good progress one thing I am concerned about is too much intervention by congressional oversight depending on who is in power can determine which information to promote or deem misinformation. Its slippery. Its already happening.
There are laws in place that they already broke and it took this to see it.

It definitely led to some SERIOUS issues of misinformation, in general.
Back in February of 2020, I already knew how dangerous COVID-19 was, and that it was likely going to be a *huge* issue. This was due to understanding science, viruses, data, numbers, etc.
I was met with SCATHING criticism, lambasted, ridiculed, insulted, and a small 'social war' was pitted against me. These people touted that I was a hypochondriac and that 'it was nothing' + 'it would go away like things go away' (trump's words).

@@gopliarsrecountagain9266 Let's go Brandon!
I was glad to hear some questioning about free speech and i'm glad some in the senate are thoughtful of it when asking about Facebook's misdeeds but I really would like to hear some clarification on how anyone's concerns on "misinformation" might clash with the goal of free speech. If any sort of discussion involves anything other than a list of verified facts then might this be deemed by Facebook as "misinformation"? And by the way, no one hold discussions by blabbering a list of facts. Speculation, hypotheticals and opinions arise in conversations and have been marked falsely as "misinformation" and i'm worried that Facebook is using certain false designations as "misinformation" as an excuse granted him by congress so he can screen content selectively in a way that would make advertisers happy and would simultaneously give him a chance to claim that he's honoring your requests. Don't hand him excuses to claim things are misinformation. He does that to WAY TOO MANY POSTS and frankly, I think freedom of speech is beyond compromised there already.
Freedom of speech is not the same as freedom of reach.
