It’s been a bad few weeks for Facebook, starting with a massive trove of leaked internal documents and culminating most recently in a multi-hour service outage, as well as a 60 Minutes interview and US Senate testimony by a company whistleblower. The whistleblower, Frances Haugen, was a product manager at Facebook, and has provided documents and other evidence to journalists and Congress that paint an incredibly unflattering picture of the company. 

In this episode we talk about Facebook's latest challenges and the integral role machine learning plays in making Facebook what it is today.
