She testified to\nCongress and spoke to the media. She was hailed at President Biden’s first\nState of the Union Address. She made sure everyone understood exactly what the\ndocuments revealed: Facebook knew it had accidentally changed its algorithm to\nreward extremism and refused to fix it; it knew that its customers were using\nthe platform to foment violence, to spread falsehoods, to diminish the\nself-esteem of young women, and more.
