Facebook whistleblower, Frances Haugen, has said the social media giant will fuel unrest across the world during a UK Parliamentary hearing. She revealed its algorithms are designed to promote divisive content and push users towards 'extremes'. The former product manager believes groups on the platform are at risk of becoming 'echo chambers' which reinforce and radicalise opinions. Ms Haugen says 'engagement-based metrics' favoured polarising content – and were 'biased'. She's also warned echo chambers on Facebook are normalising hate and is leading to violent incidents and dehumanisation.
