Facebook Now Reportedly Accused of Wrongdoing by Another Whistleblower

According to reports, a former Facebook employee told U.S. authorities on Friday that the platform had already put profits into use before stopping problematic content. A few weeks ago, another whistleblower contributed to the company’s latest crisis with similar claims. A report in the Washington Post stated that the new whistleblower, who asked not to be named, filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the US financial regulator, which may exacerbate the company’s distress.

After former employee Frances Haugen leaked internal research showing that the company was aware of the potential harm caused by its website, Facebook faced a storm of criticism in the past month, prompting U.S. lawmakers to reintroduce regulation.

In the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s complaint, the new whistleblower described the so-called 2017 statement when the company was deciding how to deal with disputes related to Russia’s interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

The Washington Post reported that a new whistleblower filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) claimed that the managers of the social media giant often undermined efforts to combat misinformation and other problematic content because they were afraid of angering the United States at the time. President Donald Trump may shut down users who are vital to profit.

Facebook spokesperson Erin McPike said that this article “under the Washington Post, in the past five years, it will only report the story after in-depth coverage with proven sources.”
