Frances Haugen came to the world’s attention in 2021 as a whistle-blower, after filing a series of complaints about Facebook (now Meta) with the U.S. Federal Government about the harms caused by their business practices. She now works to champion accountability, transparency, and driving social media for the common good.

In this new episode of Tech Mirror, TPDC Director Professor Johanna Weaver and Frances Haugen cover a lot of ground discussing topics including:

- the importance of whistle-blower protections

- recognising linguistic diversity in online safety

- the power of collective action, amongst both communities and middle powers like Canada and Australia

- mechanisms of transparency

- building independent ecosystems of accountability

- elections, democracy and disinformation

- artificial intelligence and the limits of nuclear analogies

- AND what it takes to change the world
