A former Facebook employee has informed authorities that the company is putting profits above its efforts to stop the publication of problematic content, the Washington Post writes.
The new accusations were made several weeks after a former Facebook employee, Frances Hogen, testified in Congress that the company does not care about the safety of users, especially children, but only about making money.
The unnamed, new whistleblower has filed a report with the Federal Financial Supervisory Commission, reports say Voice of America.
Frances Hogen, who recently came forward with the allegations, actually released internal documents showing that Facebook knew about the harm it was doing to users but did nothing.
A new whistleblower is now detailing how the company handled allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
"It's going to be short-lived, some representatives in Congress are going to be furious, but then in a few weeks they're going to be busy with something else. During that time, we're making money and we're fine," Tucker Bounds of Facebook's communications team is reported to have said, according to the whistleblower. .
He also reported that Facebook managers did not bother to fight misinformation and problematic content for fear of angering then-President Donald Trump or losing users.
The application was filed on October 13, a week after Hogen presented her information to Congress, the Post writes.
Facebook spokeswoman Erin McPike said that "the text is below the level of the Washington Post, which in the last five years publishes only those stories for which it has evidence and verified sources."
In the US, there are still no laws regulating content on social networks.
