Facebook Whistleblower Frances Haugen: A Difficult Legal Case (VL553)
In an explosive 60 Minutes Interview, former Facebook employee Frances Haugen acted as “whistleblower“ exposing her former employer’s internal research on hate speech, divisiveness, and more, with the claim that the same was a violation of US securities laws.
But did Ms. Haugen make a case that such laws were actually violated? How do whistleblower protections work, and will they be afforded if a claim stretches the boundary of what may or may not be illegal activity? And how does good old CDA Section 230 enter into the equation?
There’s a difference between whistleblowing and exposing what you don’t Virtual Legality.
