Ms Frances Haugen:

I want to be clear. Going in and saying there are magic bullets where we just turn this knob this way or turn this dial that way and it will solve the problem is not the solution. The solution is measures like the Digital Services Act, where there are ongoing risk assessments every six months or every year, and we force the platforms to disclose to us the harms they know of and how they are going to solve other issues that NGOs have identified. We must say they need to show us enough data so that we know they are making progress. It is important to have that kind of system and an ongoing conversation with Facebook, and changing our relationship with it so that we stop passively receiving whatever lies it wants to tell us and instead we can come in and say we are noticing that kids are getting harmed and what is its plan. We need laws like that to change the dynamic in order that Facebook has to work in the public interest.
