BBC World Service - BBC OS, Whistleblower says Facebook harms children

Former Facebook employee Frances Haugen is testifying before US Senators

We’re following a hearing at the US Senate where a former Facebook employee turned whistleblower is testifying about her experiences at the company. Frances Haugen has alleged that Facebook prioritised “growth over safety”, and its products harm children and stoke division although Facebook has rejected her claims.

Also we’ll reflect some of the conversation in the state of New York about the vaccine mandate which means all health and care home workers must now be vaccinated against Covid, or lose their jobs. We speak to a doctor and a nurse.

We’ll also answer your coronavirus questions with one of our regular experts, Dr Swapneil Parikh in Mumbai.
