Summary

Facebook and its parent company, rebranded as "Meta," are still dealing with what's been called the worst public relations crisis the company has ever experienced. Leaked documents, internal research, and ex-employees testifying to Congress with concerns have led to accusations that Facebook puts profits over people.

Today we're hearing from a different former employee who spent a decade with the company. Katie Harbath was the public policy director. 

She says the leaked documents, now known as the "Facebook Papers," are only part of the full story. She's giving us an inside look at the company's culture and later, weighs in on the shift to the metaverse.
