The Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg went to the revelations of Whistleblower Frances Haugen in a publication on its official website. Zuckerberg also called the six-hour Monday course, since the “worst” that the company has had in years In the long publication of him, which Zuckerberg initially shares with Facebook employees, he said that the work and the company’s reasons are being distorted, and the narrative in the media is painting ‘a false image’. He also wrote that in some topics such as children’s safety. The United States Congress will have to intervene and update regulation, and can not leave it to private companies.
With regard to the interruption, Facebook’s CEO said that “they spent the last 24 hours of informing how we can strengthen our systems against this type of failure,” adding that the challenge was not people who change to other services during such a long cut “, Or how much money we lose, but what it means for people who trust our services to communicate with loved ones, run their businesses or support their communities The Facebook CEO also wrote that the company “is deeply concerned about issues such as security, well-being and mental health.” He also added that some of the whistleblower’s claims do not make sense.
“If we did not mind fighting the detrimental content, why do we use so many people more dedicated to this than any other company in our space, even the biggest than us? If we wanted to hide our results, why would we have established a standard Leader in the industry for transparency and report what we are doing, “he wrote He also questioned the affirmation that social networks and Facebook in particular contributed to increase polarization in society. He stated that polarization has remained flat or rejected in some countries, although it could have increased in the United States.

And I do not know any technology company that is intended to build products that make people angry or depressed, “he written Zuckerberg has also taken topics with the fact that the applications and policies of the company are damaging children.

I want my children and others to have online, and it is very important to me that everything we build is safe and good for children, “he wrote We have also worked on providing this type of experience appropriate for age with parental controls for Instagram as well. But given all the questions about whether this would really be better for children, we have paused that project to take more time to participate with experts And make sure that something we do would be useful, “he wrote.
Regarding reports that Instagram was damaging adolescents, especially young girls, whose images of the body worsened after their experiences in the application, wrote that “when it comes to the health or welfare of young people, each experience Negative matters “, although he also defended the application Finally, Zuckerberg also talked about how Internet regulations should be updated and private companies can not be taking all these decisions on their own. He said that the United States Congress will have to decide
