Haugen accused Facebook-owned Instagram of failing to keep children under 13 - the minimum user age - from opening accounts, saying it wasnвЂ™t doing enough to protect kids from content that, for example, makes them feel bad about their bodies. It pointed to investing $13 billion (9.4 billion pounds) on safety and security since 2016 and asserted that itвЂ™s вЂњalmost halvedвЂќ the amount of hate speech over the last three quarters. вЂњWhile we have rules against harmful content and publish regular transparency reports, we agree we need regulation for the whole industry so that businesses like ours arenвЂ™t making these decisions on our own,вЂќ Facebook said Monday. вЂњI was like, вЂWow, do you know what we could have done with safety if we had 10,000 more engineers?вЂ™вЂќ she said.ДЇacebook says it wants regulation for tech companies and was glad the U.K. вЂњTheyвЂ™re gonna hire 10,000 engineers in Europe to work on the metaverse,вЂќ Haugen said. Haugen said she was вЂњshockedвЂќ to hear that Facebook wants to double down on what Zuckerberg calls вЂњthe metaverse,вЂќ the companyвЂ™s plan for an immersive online world it believes will be the next big internet trend. вЂњUnquestionably, itвЂ™s making hate worse,вЂќ she said. The former Facebook data scientist said the company could add moderators to prevent groups over a certain size from being used to spread extremist views. Haugen told the committee of United Kingdom lawmakers that Facebook Groups amplifies online hate, saying algorithms that prioritize engagement take people with mainstream interests and push them to the extremes.

Senate this month, her in-person appearance drew intense interest from a British parliamentary committee that is much further along in drawing up legislation to rein in the power of social media companies.

While her testimony echoed much of what she told the U.S. Haugen, meanwhile, told a British parliamentary committee Monday that the social media giant stokes online hate and extremism, fails to protect children from harmful content and lacks any incentive to fix the problems, providing momentum for efforts by European governments working on stricter regulation of tech companies. вЂњIt makes a good soundbite to say that we donвЂ™t solve these impossible tradeoffs because weвЂ™re just focused on making money, but the reality is these questions are not primarily about our business, but about balancing difficult social values,вЂќ Zuckerberg said. Senate subcommittee, he insisted that he welcomes вЂњgood faith criticismвЂќ but considers the current storm a вЂњcoordinated effortвЂќ to paint a вЂњfalse pictureвЂќ of the company based on leaked documents. But she predicted more revelations and described the findings so far as вЂњunsettling and stomach-churning.вЂќД¬EO Mark Zuckerberg made only a brief mention of what he called the вЂњrecent debate around our company.вЂќ Largely repeating statements he made after HaugenвЂ™s Oct. вЂњFor now, the revenue picture for Facebook looks as good as can be expected,вЂќ said eMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson. The companyвЂ™s shares rose 2.5% in after-hours trading after closing up 1% for the day.
