⚡️🇺🇿🇺🇸Tashkent and Washington are not discussing providing the United States with military bases where it could deploy equipment for operations in Afghanistan, Sodyq Safoev, the first deputy chairman of Uzbekistan’s Senate, told Sputnik.
The US Senate is expected to open up the floor to Frances Haugen, a former product manager at Facebook. The whistleblower has claimed the following:

🔸Facebook put its immense profits before people

🔸FB is operating in the dark, and is accountable to no one

🔸The regulators of the social network can see some problems, but not what is causing them

🔸Facebook wants people to choose between connecting with others online and personal privacy

🔸It has the resources to "destroy her"

"As long as Facebook is operating in the shadows, hiding its research from public scrutiny, it is unaccountable. Until the incentives change, Facebook will not change. Left alone, Facebook will continue to make choices that go against the common good."

Haugen hits out at her ex-boss Mark Zuckerberg, saying that he has immense power within the company and ultimately, the most responsibility, for the harms Facebook has caused.

"There are no similarly powerful companies that are as unilaterally controlled. In the end, the buck stops with Mark. There's no one currently holding Mark [Zuckerberg] accountable but himself."
