Other facebook employees have filed a complaint whistleblower with the Securities Commission and exchange. The latest complaint, which was first reported by Washington Post, accused Facebook to mislead investors about “dangerous and criminal behavior on the platform, including Instagram, Whatsapp and Messenger.”
In complaints, the former employee described a conversation with one of the top Facebook communication executives, following the disclosure of the use of the Russian platform to interfere in the 2016 election, said the scandal would be “light” we “. Print money in the basement, and us just fine. “
Like Frances Haugen, the latest Whistleblower is also a former member of the Facebook integrity team, which was assigned to fight incorrect information, interfering, and other major problems faced by the company. And, like Haugen, a former Facebook staff said that the company has “strived regularly to fight wrong information, hating speech and other problematic content from fears to be angry – President Trump and political allies that have the potential to reduce user growth.”
Secretary SEC also describes illegal activities in secret Facebook groups, and Facebook policies to enable politicians and other high profile users to skirt rules. It called Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg aware of the problem and did not report it to investors, according to posting.
While many details sound similar to other complaints from ex-people in the company, news about other complaints add pressure on Facebook, which has spent many months trying to discredit Haugen and underestimate the significance of his own research. Meanwhile, parliamentarians have asked Zuckerberg to answer questions from Congress, and Haugen is expected to make European officials briefly.
Facebook spokesman did not immediately respond to a comment request. Zuckerberg is expected to announce plans to change the company name with a new name next week.
