The Facebook Whistleblower, Frances Haugen deserves a seat in the High Court of Heroes in the "Do The Right Thing" Justice League ( I just made that up but it should absolutely be a thing.). A data scientist, Harvard graduate, expert of algorithmic product management and an Iowan daughter of two professors, Frances truly moved the needle for humanity when she recognized wrongdoing and stood up for the world.
The source behind the Wall Street Journal's, Facebook Files, Frances exposed Facebook's awareness, complicity and radicalization in political violence around the world, plus their disregard to users' mental health.
When I had the opportunity to speak with Frances she was incredibly generous with her time…so generous that I am going to do something I never have before – that is: break this episode into 2 parts. Enjoy listening to Part 1 of this fabulous conversation today!
