Whistleblower's SEC Complaint: Facebook Knew Platforms was used to "Promote Human Trafficking and Domestic Servitude"

The complaints filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission against Facebook by former employee Frances Haugen include "original evidence showing that Facebook ... has, for years past and ongoing, violated US securities laws by making material misrepresentations and omissions in statements to investors and prospective investors, including, inter alia, through filings with the SEC, testimony to Congress, online statements and media stories." Haugen's attorneys have filed at least eight whistleblower complaints with the SEC based on tens of thousands of internal Facebook documents secretly copied by Haugen before she left the social media company in May 2021. "The thing I saw at Facebook over and over again was there were conflicts of interest between what was good for the public and what was good for Facebook," said Haugen. "And Facebook, over and over again, chose to optimize for its own interests, like making more money."
