00:00I used to work at Facebook.
00:02I joined Facebook because I think Facebook has the potential to bring out the best in us.
00:08But I am here today because I believe Facebook's products harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy.
00:15The company's leadership knows how to make Facebook and Instagram safer,
00:19but won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical profits before people.
00:26Congressional action is needed.
00:27They won't solve this crisis without your help.
00:32Yesterday we saw Facebook get taken off the Internet.
00:35I don't know why I went down, but I know that for more than five hours,
00:39Facebook wasn't used to deepen divides, destabilize democracies,
00:44and make young girls and women feel bad about their bodies.
00:48Facebook wants to trick you into thinking that privacy protections or changes to Section 230 alone will be sufficient.
00:55While important, these will not get to the core of the issue,
00:59which is that no one truly understands the destructive choices made by Facebook except Facebook.
01:04Thank you very much.
01:05Thank you.
