Whistleblower to train lawyers to fight Facebook

Frances Haugen jumped into the spotlight for being the whistleblower who released a trove of internal documents and data from Facebook

Haugen testified in front of lawmakers about the social network’s behaviour… and now she wants to train lawyers to fight Facebook too.

The whistleblower is trying to get a non-profit off the ground to hold companies like Meta accountable, according to a report from Politico.

She wants to call the company “Beyond the Screen” and plans to focus on giving help to lawyers, researchers and investors a chance against big tech.

Politico reports that Haugen is currently working with two other people on the project, and is looking to raise around $5 million in funding to get it off the ground.

Haugen hopes that Beyond the Screen can give lawyers a leg up when they’re involved with class-action lawsuits against social media giants by making sure they know what to look for when filing.

She also wants to create a metric that investors can use to compare how well companies do at keeping their users safe.
