Tycko & Zavareei LLP Partner Renée Brooker shares her perspective as an attorney who represents whistleblowers in this National Law Review article about Frances Haugen, former Facebook employee turned whistleblower on the social network company’s knowledge of its platform’s harms to users.
‘The Facebook whistleblower’s revelations have opened the door just a crack on how Big Tech is exploiting American consumers,” Ms. Brooker noted. “Facebook should not be singled out as a lone actor. Big Tech needs to be held accountable and insiders can and should be encouraged to come forward and be prepared to back up their allegations with hard evidence sufficient to allow governments to conduct appropriate investigations.”
