Frances Haugen is interviewed by “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley during a segment that aired on Sunday, October 3. Haugen was revealed as the Facebook whistleblower who recently released tens of thousands of pages of internal research and documents, causing a firestorm for the social media company. The former Facebook product manager, who worked on civic integrity issues at the company, says the documents show that Facebook knows its platforms are used to spread hate, violence and misinformation and that the company has tried to hide that evidence. Facebook has aggressively pushed back against the reports, calling many of the claims “misleading” and arguing that its apps do more good than harm.
