The Facebook whistle blower and the grieving parent
Ian Russell, whose daughter killed herself after looking at self-harm content, speaks to Frances Haugen - a Facebook whistle blower.
Frances Haugen made headlines around the world when she became a whistle blower. She disclosed thousands of internal documents from Facebook where she used to work. She told Congress the company鈥檚 apps 鈥渉arm children, stoke division and weaken democracy鈥�. Mark Zuckerburg said he didn鈥檛 recognise the 鈥渇alse picture鈥� she painted. But her decision to come forward and give us a glimpse inside the tech giant matters to a lot of people. Four years ago Ian Russell's daughter Molly took her own life. When he looked at her Instagram account he found it was full of dark content about suicide and depression, fed to her by the app鈥檚 algorithm. In this episode of 5 Minutes On, Ian Russell meets Frances Haugen.
