Federal Liberal-National MP Julian Simmonds says regulatory intervention is needed to ensure that Facebook is more transparent about how it operates. His comments follow an online briefing to federal MPs by Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, who said they should not trust the social media company’s promises that it is trying to make its platform safer. Simmonds co-ordinated the briefing with digital advocacy group Reset Australia. Haugen attracted much attention when she recently appeared before a US congressional hearing.
