Mark Zuckerberg shot back at the whistleblower who testified that the Facebook CEO has no accountability at a Senate hearing Tuesday.
Zuckerberg said the company he founded cares “deeply about issues like safety, well-being and mental health” after former employee Frances Haugen urged lawmakers to have government regulators oversee the social network, which she said should declare “moral bankruptcy.”
“If we wanted to hide our results, why would we have established an industry-leading standard for transparency and reporting on what we’re doing?”

The comments marked the first time the Silicon Valley head honcho seriously addressed Haugen’s leak and national security concerns about Facebook, where she worked from June 2019 to May 2020 reading and copying internal documents.
Haugen — who leaked thousands of internal documents to lawmakers and the Wall Street Journal — said the company downplayed Instagram’s negative effects on teens’ mental health, exempted popular users from content rules, and failed to crack down on drug cartels and human traffickers.
“There are no similarly powerful companies that are as unilaterally controlled [as Facebook],” Haugen testified. “The buck stops with Mark. There is no one currently holding Mark accountable but himself.”
Zuckerberg, 37, refuted the allegations in a letter to employees that he made public Tuesday, writing that coverage of the hearing “misrepresents our work and our motives.”
“If we didn’t care about fighting harmful content, then why would we employ so many more people dedicated to this than any other company in our space — even ones larger than us?” Zuckerberg wrote.

Well Mark, I'm just spit-balling here:
TOTAL UNILATERAL GLOBAL CONTROL OF THOUGHT?
And the "whistleblower" is the Reichstag's fire they are using to get it done...
I’m gettin a never married, childless, cold, Liberal, old maid or Lesbian, lantern-jawed freak vibe from her.
Break Them Up NOW!
Along with Google, Amazon, Twitter, Youtube, etc.
This is coordinated to see Facebook “agree” to censorship as Traitor Joe’s handlers were seeking all along.
That biyatch was part of the Theftbook team censoring the Hunter laptop story.
The only whistle this bitch is blowing, is the dog-whistle indicating a start to the doubling-down of censorship of the right.
We would be further ahead by banning fossil fools, like Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein, Leahy, etc
