In 2021, Frances Haugen released tens of thousands of internal Facebook documents showing the company knew its algorithms were promoting political extremism, exacerbating teen mental health issues, and prioritizing corporate profit over public safety.

Since then, she’s testified nationally and internationally about accountability and transparency in social media.

Now, she’s the subject of the new Aaron Sorkin movie, “The Social Reckoning,” where she and fellow tech whistleblower Brittany Kaiser work on a new initiative to help future whistleblowers expose wrongdoing.

Haugen, also author of the memoir “The Power of One,” joins host Robin Young to talk about the new initiative and her portrayal in “The Social Reckoning.”
