The world didn't need a Facebook whistleblower to realize how toxic Facebook is. But that's what Frances Haugen did in the past few weeks. The former Facebook employee leaked internal documents that show Facebook was aware of how unsafe its social products can be, including Facebook and Instagram. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg only reacted publicly to Haugen after she had already testified to Congress, choosing to deny her claims. That's despite the fact they were based on a massive amount of internal Facebook data. Zuckerberg's carefully crafted words can't magically fix Facebook's reputation. Years of scandals around safety and privacy have tarnished the company name. The only way forward for Facebook (the company) is to change the company name under which Facebook (the social network) operates. But that won't fix its toxicity problem.
