The White House stated that more work and reforms are necessary in light of privacy and trust concerns raised about the social media giant Facebook. This comment was made by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, following testimony from former Facebook product manager Frances Haugen before Congress regarding concerns that the company harms children's mental health and fuels divisions.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, denied the allegations directed at the social media giant, stating that they are untrue. After the hearing of former content supervisor Frances Haugen before the U.S. Congress, the founder of the world's most popular app, Mark Zuckerberg, sent a memo to his employees which he published on his page, asserting that the recent claims and accusations about the app's impacts on society are "nonsensical." He also denied that Facebook promotes hate and divisions in communities, harms children, and needs regulation, emphasizing that the accusations against his company of prioritizing profit over safety are incorrect.
