Key takeaways from Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen's Senate testimony

Here are key takeaways from former Facebook employee turned whistleblower Frances Haugen's testimony before a Senate Commerce subcommittee on Tuesday.

A former Facebook employee turned whistleblower testified before a Senate Commerce subcommittee on Tuesday -- alleging blatant disregard from Facebook executives when they learned their platform could have harmful effects on foreign democracies and the mental health of children.

"Facebook has not earned our blind faith," said former Facebook product manager turned whistleblower Frances Haugen in her opening statement before lawmakers. "There is a pattern of behavior that I saw [at] Facebook: Facebook choosing to prioritize its profits over people."

"You can declare moral bankruptcy, and we can figure out a fix [to] these things together because we solve problems together," Haugen said.

Minutes after her testimony, Facebook issued a statement attempting to discredit Haugen, stating that she worked for the company "for less than two years, had no direct reports, never attended a decision-point meeting with C-level executives – and testified more than six times to not working on the subject matter in question."
