Facebook internal investigations leaked by whistleblower Frances Haugen are planning to give testimony in Europe. Former Facebook employee Frances Haugen leaked internal company investigations revealing that facebook was aware of the negative impact of Instagram on the mental health of teenage girls. Haugen intends to provide testimony in the UK Parliament, according to CNBC.

Haugen previously admitted in the US Senate last week that facebook executives prioritized profit over user well-being and urged lawmakers to intervene. Prior to this, Haugen released studies to the Wall Street Journal, which detailed facebook’s awareness of Instagram’s detrimental effects on teenage girls. The Wall Street Journal reports that facebook sought to improve the platform, but the changes ultimately led to negative outcomes.

Last weekend, facebook’s spokesperson Nick Clegg stated that the company is preparing measures to prevent teenagers from accessing harmful content. The UK government intends to mandate that digital giants remove damaging content, with potential penalties including fines up to 10% of global turnover or £18 million, whichever is greater.
