1 evidence-linked departure · 1 organizational event
Meta's evidence-linked record centers on Frances Haugen, a product manager on the Civic Integrity team who disclosed internal documents and later testified before Congress about harms she said the company knew its products caused. The Civic Integrity team had been dissolved after the 2020 election. The tracker does not treat later changes to other oversight teams as evidence of any former employee's reason for leaving unless a source makes that connection.
Team-level changes are documented separately and never establish an individual's motive or enter the departure count.
Meta disbanded its standalone Responsible Innovation team, which had advised product teams on potential societal and ethical harms.
Meta said most of the roughly 20 team members would move into product groups so the work could be distributed across the company.
People and motive: Former director Zvika Krieger had already left for personal reasons. The later reorganization is not evidence that his departure was an ethical protest.
