"Mark Zuckerberg has 'unilateral control of over three billion people' over his undisputed position at the helm of Facebook," problematic Francis Hogen told British lawmakers, urging them to exercise strong internal control to limit the company's management and reduce social harm.

Hogen is a former Facebook employee who posted tens of thousands of compromising documents about the company's internal operations. She arrived in London for a parliamentary hearing and gave qualified support to the British government's proposals to regulate the functioning of social media and force them to take greater responsibility for the content and what they publish on their websites, reports the London daily "Guardian". .

Facebook's internal work culture prioritizes profits, and according to Hogen, "the company has no desire to ensure the systems work safely."

Hogen stated:

"Until a counterbalance is established, such things will be done solely in the interest of shareholders, not the public interest," he warned, noting that the Instagram platform is also unsafe for teens and that all research suggests that the social network creates "addicts" who are obsessed with body appearance.

"The last thing they see before they go to sleep is that someone is mean to them. "The first thing they will see in the morning is full of hatred, and that is even worse," she warned.

Francis Hogen appealed to Facebook to sanction the sharing of hate and misinformation content, and to favor content coming from family and friends.
