Shannon welcomes Facebook Whistleblower Frances Haugen to discuss the dramatic human cost she discovered resulting from Facebook's algorithm and global policies. An expert in Algorithmic product management, Haugen disclosed tens of thousands of pages of internal Facebook documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission and The Wall Street Journal, revealing that Facebook was both aware and complicit in radicalization and political violence around the world. Here, she goes into detail about the documents and how coding algorithms resulted in loss of life as they discuss her book, The Power of One: How I Found the Strength to Tell the Truth and Why I Blew the Whistle on Facebook.

Cultural Controversy with Shannon Fisher delves deeply into the personal, political, and societal perspectives of the human experience. The show explores the worlds of writers, artists, celebrities, community leaders, and everyday Joes and Janes and offers listeners food for thought on topics we're often told to avoid in polite conversation.
