They operate in the dark,\u201d Haugen said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey win by keeping their systems closed without oversight or transparency, by shrouding their operations in secrecy and PR spin. I came forward because I believe that every human being deserves the dignity of the truth \u2014 and the truth is that Facebook buys its astronomical profits by sacrificing our safety. But it does not have to be this way \u2014 these problems are solvable. We can have social media we love that also brings out the best in humanity. My hope is that this book will show us the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haugen\u2019s prominence has been cited as a sign of a rising wave of Big Tech whistleblowers. In\u00a0Senate testimony in October, Haugen alleged that the company had failed to make changes to Instagram even after internal research showed apparent harm to some teens and had not done enough to combat hate speech and misinformation. <\/p>\n<p>Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has disputed her accounts, calling them a \u201cfalse picture\u201d of the company, but shared her view that the government needed to update its internet regulations.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/facebook-whistleblower-frances-haugen-book-deal3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"a collection of books inside the window of a book store\" class=\"wp-image-20517659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/facebook-whistleblower-frances-haugen-book-deal3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/facebook-whistleblower-frances-haugen-book-deal3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/facebook-whistleblower-frances-haugen-book-deal3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Little, Brown did not disclose financial terms of the deal or expected release date for Frances Haugen\u2019s book.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A native of Iowa City, Iowa, Haugen is a data expert with a degree in electrical and computer engineering from Olin College and a master\u2019s degree in business from Harvard. She already had 15 years of experience with tech companies, including Google and Yelp, before being recruited by Facebook in 2019 and joining in its civic integrity unit as lead product manager.<\/p>\n<p>Haugen and others have said that Facebook eliminated the civic integrity unit after the November 2020 election \u2014 Facebook says the unit was not eliminated, but integrated into a larger team. Haugen said she became convinced the company could not be trusted to \u201cactually invest what needs to be invested to keep Facebook from being dangerous.\u201d She left Facebook in May, but not before spending weeks reviewing and copying documents.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
