Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Facebook will fuel more unrest, whistle-blower tells UK lawmakers” – below is their description.
Facebook Inc. will fuel more violent unrest around the world unless it stops its algorithms from pushing extreme and divisive content, whistle-blower Frances Haugen has told a British parliamentary committee.
With a focus on the US, the company was willfully blind to its impact on many markets where a lack of local-language staff meant it often failed to understand the toxic or dangerous nature of messages on its platform, she said.
