Meta hid harms to children from VR products, whistleblowers allege
Company accused of manipulating virtual reality research as senator attacks Meta’s ‘disgusting web of lies’
A group of six whistleblowers have come forward with allegations of a cover-up of harm to children on Meta’s virtual reality devices and apps. They say the social media company, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and offers a line of VR headsets and games, deleted or doctored internal safety research that showed children being exposed to grooming, sexual harassment and violence in its 3D realms.
