Facebook
whistleblower Frances Haugen will be meeting with the tech giant’s oversight
board soon where she will be allowed to table her concerns about the company
and its working, the Facebook Oversight Board said on Monday.

Haugen had
recently testified before the US Congress that Facebook knows that vulnerable
people are harmed by its systems and has not made meaningful changes to prevent
it. She went on to claim that the platform is designed to exploit negative
emotions to keep people hooked to it.

“They
are aware of the side effects of the choices they have made around
amplification. They know that algorithmic-based rankings, or engagement-based
rankings, keep you on their sites longer. You have longer sessions, you show up
more often, and that makes them more money,” Haugen said in the Senate
hearing.

“In
light of the serious claims made about Facebook by Haugen, we have extended an
invitation for her to speak to the Board over the coming weeks, which she has
accepted,” the Oversight Board said, according to CNN.

 “Board members appreciate the chance to
discuss Haugen’s experiences and gather information that can help push for
greater transparency and accountability from Facebook through our case
decisions and recommendations,” the Board added.

Haugen also
confirmed that she would go to the Board on their invitation and that she is
looking forward to sharing what she learned while working at the company.

“I have
accepted the invitation to brief the Facebook Oversight Board about what I
learned while working there. Facebook has lied to the board repeatedly, and I
am looking forward to sharing the truth with them,” Haugen tweeted.

The
Facebook Oversight Board was created so that the content decisions on company-owned
platforms could be appealed. The Board has 20 experts on it who come from
different areas such as free expression, human rights, and journalism.
