Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen is back in the spotlight as a new film, The Social Reckoning, brings her story to a wider audience. Starring Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White, the film recreates her choice to bring hidden documents to light.

Haugen told reporters she has "extreme worry" about a change in direction at Meta and believes Zuckerberg is making risky bets with AI. She said she hopes the film moves others to come forward, telling The Verge she wants it to give others the courage to go public.
