"Meta Whistleblower's Testimony Sparks Senate Action on Child Safety Online"

Meta whistleblower Frances Haugen believes Mark Zuckerberg's apology to families during his congressional testimony on child safety on social media is a "turning point" as it's the first time he's visibly faced the consequences of his choices. Zuckerberg's apology came after Missouri Republican Sen.

Haugen, who leaked internal documents detailing the potentially harmful impact of Facebook and Instagram on underage users, described the energy in the room as "electric."
