"A critical starting point for effective regulation is transparency," Frances Haugen said in testimony to be delivered to a Senate Commerce subcommittee.
Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen will appear before the U.S. Congress Tuesday, where she is set to sharply criticize her former employer as "one of the most urgent threats" facing the country, and to demand transparency about its operations in order to better regulate it.
Haugen, a former product manager on Facebook's civic misinformation team, says the social media giant keeps its algorithms and operations a secret.
"The core of the issue is that no one can understand Facebook's destructive choices better than Facebook, because only Facebook gets to look under the hood," she said in written testimony prepared for the hearing.
"A critical starting point for effective regulation is transparency," she said in testimony to be delivered to a Senate Commerce subcommittee.
