Summary
The Facebook whistleblower who released tens of thousands of pages of internal research and documents said the social media company could “destroy her for speaking out.” Frances Haugan said she came forward because "I recognized a frightening truth: almost no one outside of Facebook knows what happens inside Facebook." Haugen's lawyer John Tye tells Anderson Cooper "there are actually a few very simple changes that Facebook could make to its algorithm that would have marginal impacts on growth" but "would have huge impacts on the spread of misinformation, conspiracy theories, violent and inciting content." Plus, New York Times Washington Correspondent and CNN Political Analyst Maggie Haberman joins AC360 to discuss whether or not former President Trump is going to run for President again in 2024.
