Deep Dive (Oct. 5): Sen. Wicker: Big Tech Harmful to Children; Facebook Senate Hearing

|Updated:

The Facebook whistleblower called on Congress to take action on the company, saying “the buck stops” with Mark Zuckerberg. She said a safer internet is still possible. Since her bombshell interview on “60 Minutes,” Frances Haugen has a new website, a Twitter profile that is now down, and a new Instagram account. The website states that “We can have social media we enjoy that brings out the best in humanity.”

And during the hearing, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) also weighed in on the harm to young girls: “The children of America are hooked on their product. It is often destructive and harmful, and there is a cynical knowledge on behalf of the leadership of these big tech companies.”
