Frances Haugen hopes The Social Reckoning will inspire more whistleblowers
Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen discusses the release of a new film, 'The Social Reckoning,' which depicts her experiences leaking internal documents. She hopes the film will humanize the act of whistleblowing and encourage others to hold tech companies accountable.
Why it matters
The film highlights the ongoing cultural and ethical debate surrounding the power of social media platforms and the role of whistleblowers in corporate oversight.
Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen was mostly unfazed watching Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison play a character named after her in The Social Reckoning, except for one thing: the wrist warmers.
