“YOU ARE a 21st-century American hero,” gushed Ed Markey, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts. He was not addressing the founder of one of the country’s largest companies, Facebook, but the woman who found fault with it.
Senators, who cannot agree on such uncontroversial things as paying for the government’s expenses, united against a common enemy and promised Ms Haugen that they would hold Facebook to account. But the firm has survived scandals before. Congress has repeatedly called in tech bosses for angry questioning and public shaming without taking direct action afterwards.
If Congress does follow through with legislation, it is likely to focus narrowly on protecting children online, as opposed to broader reforms, for which there is still no political consensus. For example, Congress could update and strengthen the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act , which was passed in 1998 and bars the collection of data from children under the age of 13. Some want to extend protections to teenagers over that age as well.
There are several factors that make tech ripe for whistleblowing. One is the industry’s culture of flouting rules and a history of non-compliance. Another is a legal framework that makes whistleblowing less threatening and more attractive than it used to be.
