Facebook Whistleblower Testifies About Companys Harms Amid Leak Fallout

Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen is testifying before Congress Tuesday, where she’s expected to tell a Senate subcommittee how the social media giant puts “profits before people.”

Haugen’s claims are supported by tens of thousands of pages of internal Facebook research, which she previously provided to the Wall Street Journal.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
