A Facebook whistleblower revealed on ’60 Minutes’ Interview Could be the Reason for Today’s FB Down
For weeks, Facebook has been in the middle of an identity crisis after a whistleblower leaked tens of thousands of pages from their internal research and documents. It turns out that this person is one Frances Haugen–a former employee who left for an unknown reason just before releasing them all!
The documents released show that Facebook knows its platforms are being used to spread hate, violence, and misinformation. The company has tried hiding this evidence, but it seems like they haven’t succeeded because more leaks keep coming out every day!
Facebook had a conflict of interest in how it handled user data. The public was being hurt and manipulated by Facebook. Still, instead, they were focusing on making money from advertising to users rather than caring about their interests like increasing profit margins or something else unnecessary.
“60 Minutes” interviewed Haugen, who talked at length about his experience with this subject matter – he is an attorney specializing in privacy law as well as having published several articles related to social media platforms such as Twitter.
You can read the detailed interview article on CNN.
So, that’s might be the reason for today’s Facebook down servers.
