Byte Into IT: Frances Haugen, Meta Whistleblower on Online Safety

In 2021, Frances Haugen blew the whistle on Meta about the impact Facebook's practices and algorithms were having on its community. Documents obtained through legal actions exposed Meta's knowing negligence regarding platform safety, and Frances has since become a speaker and campaigner for online rights. She joins Lilly and Row to share her insights and vision for where online platforms can go: what kinds of changes to platform/product design combined with 'middle power organising' to change regulations and governance can look like in order to protect and empower users.
