Facebook whistleblower: Mark Zuckerberg should step down as CEO
Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen said Monday she believes the company would be "stronger" if founder Mark Zuckerberg stepped down as chief executive.
"I think it is unlikely the company will change if he remains CEO," she said during an on-stage interview at the Web Summit tech conference in Lisbon. "I hope that he can see that there's so much good he can do in the world, and maybe it's a chance for somebody else to take the reins."
Haugen added: "I think Facebook would be stronger with someone who was willing to focus on safety."
Haugen set off the latest firestorm around Facebook which changed its corporate name last week to Meta when she leaked tens of thousands of pages of internal company documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission, lawmakers and the Wall Street Journal. Last month, a consortium of news organizations, including CNN, also obtained the documents, now known as the "Facebook Papers," and published scores of articles.
