FACEBOOK AND THE ETHICS OF ANGER On Octоber 3, 2021, fоrmer Fаcebоok employee Frаnces Hаugen revealed her identity on 60 Minutes as the whistleblower who copied thousands of documents while employed at Facebook. Haugen asserted these documents prove Facebook knowingly allowed, and even encouraged, hate speech and divisive speech to perpetuate uncensored on its platform, sometimes with violent, global consequences. Haugen stated Facebook makes more profit the more its users engage on the platform, and anger and hate create higher levels of engagement.
