Facebook "Whistleblower" Haugen Has Tech Billionaire BACKER (Politico report)
eBay’s billionaire founder Pierre Omidyar has thrown his weight behind "whistleblower" Frances Haugen in her dispute with Facebook by reportedly offering advice - and possibly funding.
While it is Omidyar’s organization Luminate last year ploughed $150k sum into Whistleblower Aid, which is funding Haugen’s legal fees, an unnamed source suggested to Politico that “there will be financial investments."
Haugen has other big hitters in her corner - her top PR representative is former Obama spox Bill Burton, whose Center Humane technology receives funding from Omidyar, and former Dem presidential candidate Larry Lessig has offered legal aid.
