In conversation: Saving Social Media with Frances Haugen

In 2021, Frances Haugen leaked tens of thousands of internal documents to the Wall Street Journal and testified before the US Senate on the vital challenge of ensuring that the biggest social media companies don’t put profits before public welfare and safety. Now, she's devoted her life to advocating for a reformed social media ecosystem that protects the wellbeing, trust, and health of its users and all of society. <br />On October 18, 2022, Canada 2020 hosted a conversation with Haugen and Supriya Dwivedi, Director of Policy and Engagement at the Centre for Media, Technology & Democracy, on how we can strengthen the information environment for a healthier democracy, and build social media that brings out the best in humanity.
