BROOKFIELD, Wis. — Just one day after a whistleblower unveiled her identity on 60 Minutes, Facebook suffered a major outage that lasted as long as 7 hours.
On Sunday, Frances Haugen spoke with the news program and claimed the tech giant put profits over public safety. “Facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to be safer, people will spend less time on the site. They'll click on less ads, they'll make less money,” said Haugen.
