In an interview this week, Frances Haugen, a former product manager for Facebook, said the new virtual reality world would require users to put more sensors in their homes and in the workplace. She also expressed concern over its addictiveness, which may encourage people to unplug from their own realities.
The former Facebook employee said the company is continuing to disregard transparency and prioritizing profits over safety. She noted in her interview that she was shocked by the rebrand, pointing to the money spent on 10,000 new engineers to work on video games, but no further resources to keep women safe.
Facebook whistle-blower Frances Haugen has told me that their rebrand is a bid to save its image. She also responded to Panorama's online hate investigation.
