Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen says the company’s chairman and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has no one who holds him accountable for decisions — except himself.
During testimony before the Senate, Haugen was asked by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) how decisions are made at Facebook and whether Zuckerberg is the decision-maker.
“Mark holds a very unique role in the tech industry in that he holds over 55% of all the voting shares of Facebook. There are no similarly powerful companies that are as unilaterally controlled. And in the end, the buck stops with Mark. There is no one currently holding Mark accountable but himself,” she added.
She continued, “Mark has built an organization that is very metrics driven. It is intended to be flat. There is no unilateral responsibility. The metrics make the decision. Unfortunately, that itself is a decision. And in the end, if he is the CEO and the chairman of Facebook, he is responsible for those decisions.”
