Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen says that the rebranding exercise to Meta does not make much sense unless the issues are addressed by CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

“Over and over Facebook chooses expansion and new areas instead of sticking the landing on what they’ve already done,” Haugen told a packed arena on Monday at the opening night of the Web Summit in Lisbon.
“I think it is unlikely the company will change if [Mark Zuckerberg] remains the CEO,” Haugen told a packed arena on Monday at the opening night of the Web Summit, a tech fest drawing dozens of thousands to the Portuguese capital.
“Over and over Facebook chooses expansion and new areas instead of sticking the landing on what they’ve already done,” Haugen told an animated crowd which frequently burst into applause as she spoke.
