Profits and growth take precedence over the fight against misinformation and threats

An informant from a group of former Facebook employees spoke about the new facts and provided details Washington Post. According to a copy of the document obtained by the said portal, this is a new solemn declaration of the informant. This was submitted by a former Facebook employee on Friday, who claims that the company prioritizes growth and profits over the fight against hate speech, misinformation and other threats to the public.

The allegations were shared with the portal on condition of anonymity under the threat of perjury. But it turns out that they reflected many of the claims of Frances Haugen, another former Facebook employee who “spoke”. Her sharp testimony to Congress this month intensified calls from both sides for federal action against society. Haugen, like this new informant, has filed charges with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which oversees publicly traded companies.

There are many risks for investors, they did not want to throw it at the former US president

According to the informant’s complaint, Facebook allegedly allows terrorist content and drug sales, while not informing its investors about these risks. However, another shocking statement came, namely that the social network allegedly did not want to fight the misinformation for fear that it would anger the then US President Donald Trump.

The fear allegedly stemmed from the possible damage to relations with its political allies, or from the fear of a potential slowdown in the growth of new users and the consequent cessation of Facebook’s multibillion-dollar profits. “Facebook has created a business model that has accepted the myth that it cannot be held accountable,” said Stephen M. Kohn, who is the founding director of the National Center for Informants and one of several lawyers who worked on Friday’s SEC filings.
