Francis Hogan, who earlier this year shared a collection of company insiders' documents, accused Facebook of harming children's mental health.
He has now said that the platform is "undoubtedly" promoting hatred.
According to Francis Hogan said that Facebook has the highest clickthrough and dissent generating material while "Engagement based on ratings, priority Used.
It pushes you to extremes and promotes hatred," Francis Hogan told a panel of British lawmakers researching Facebook's regulatory options a week after making a statement to the US Congress. ۔
"Anger and hatred are the easiest way to get ahead on Facebook, bad actors are motivated by algorithms and they look for all ways to optimize Facebook," he said.
Prior to working for Facebook in 2019, she worked for several companies, including Google and PinTrust, and hoped to help transform Facebook.
However, the 37-year-old data scientist said she became concerned about the company's choice of materials and quit her job in May.
He then shared documents with US lawmakers and the Wall Street Journal highlighting Facebook's failure to address misleading information, hate speech and other content.
He also alleged that the company was aware that its products, including Instagram, were harming young girls, especially in terms of body composition.
"I am very concerned that it may not be possible to secure Instagram for a 14-year-old and I think it may be possible to secure it for a 10-year-old," Hogan told British lawmakers.
In a comprehensive review of the company's failures, he said Facebook was failing to manage large groups of millions of users where misleading information was spread.
Meanwhile, he said, the social media company was also investing less in its non-English language products, which was endangering already racially and religiously divided societies.
"We have to take care of the social damage not only to the 'Global South' but also to our societies," he said.
"We need to develop mechanisms to hold companies accountable," he added.
Francis Hogan also called for more human intervention in social media companies instead of algorithms and artificial intelligence.
Recently, Francis Hogan, speaking on a talk show on the American TV channel 'CBS', claimed that Facebook has no interest in the mental health or well-being of its users, it only values its earnings.
He is the most prominent figure ever to reveal the inside story of Facebook and the thousands of pages of the company's own research supporting his allegations of harming children and inciting political violence on Facebook platforms.
So far, almost all of the Facebook workers who have come forward to make fresh revelations against it are women, and observers say this is no coincidence.
