Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen tells lawmakers that meaningful reform is necessary ‘for our common good’

John Tye, one of Haugen’s attorneys, noted to CBS that the SEC can shield whistleblowers from retaliation by former employers. According to the SEC, those protections largely mean a company “may not discharge, demote, suspend, harass, or in any way discriminate” against an employee who reports conduct they “reasonably believed violated the federal securities laws.”
