Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen has urged the recently rebranded social media’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg to step down and allow change rather than devoting resources to a rebrand. Haugen was speaking at the Web Summit tech conference in Lisbon. She said that Facebook’s parent company, rebranded Meta, is unlikely to change if Zuckerberg remains the CEO. Haugen said that she believes Facebook will be stronger with someone who is willing to focus on safety.

"I think it is unlikely the company will change if (Mark Zuckerberg) remains the CEO," Haugen said. “Maybe it’s a chance for someone else to take the reinsFacebook would be stronger with someone who was willing to focus on safety," she added.
