Meta whistleblower testifies that executives failed to react to teenage struggles

A former security engineer from Meta testified to Congress on Tuesday that the company chose not to respond to internal data indicating that more teenagers were being harmed by Instagram and Facebook than public data indicated.

Facebook whistleblower Arturo Bejar appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday to provide his perspective on Meta's approach to youth safety. Bejar was featured in a Wall Street Journal piece last week in which he said that the company failed to respond to internal data regarding bullying, sexual harassment, and other negative experiences on the platform.
