In her first public speech after she leaked a large number of destructive documents about the internal workings of Facebook, the whistleblower Francis Haogen urged her former boss Mark Zuckerberg to step down and allow change instead of investing resources in rebranding. Plastic in. “I think if [Mark Zuckerberg] continues to serve as CEO, the company is unlikely to change,” Hogan told a crowded stage on the opening night of the Web Summit on Monday, which is an attraction for dozens of people.

Ten thousand people went to the science and technology event in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. The former Facebook product manager gave a positive answer to the question of whether Zuckerberg should resign, adding: “Maybe this is an opportunity for others to succeed… If someone is willing to pay attention to safety, Facebook will be stronger.” This social network with nearly 3 billion users was renamed Meta last week to focus on building a “meta universe” brand rebrand, and it bet it will become a shared virtual environment for the successor of the mobile Internet.

But early adopters of the virtual world called Metaverse criticized Facebook’s rebranding because it tried to use the growing buzz of a concept to divert recent negative attention. Commenting on the rebranding, Hoogen stated that it is meaningless given the unresolved safety issues. “Facebook chooses to expand and new areas over and over again, instead of sticking to what they have already done,” Haugen told a group of active people, she often burst into applause when she spoke.

When Facebook’s announcement was released, legislators and regulators strongly criticized the company’s business practices, especially its huge market power, algorithmic decision-making, and supervision of its service abuse. The social media network operates a dual-shareholding structure through which Zuckerberg and a small group of investors control the company. It countered that Haugen’s leaked documents were used to portray “false pictures.” Haugen told lawmakers in the United Kingdom and the United States last month that Facebook will cause more violent riots around the world unless it curbs its algorithms, which push extreme, divisive content and plunder vulnerable groups to keep scrolling.

Haugen pointed out: “A key issue is that the foundation of platform security is based on monitoring content language on a per-language basis, which cannot be extended to all countries/regions in which Facebook operates.”
