She Was a Senior Director at Meta. She Walked Away from Millions.

from Parenting in a Tech World · host Bark Technologies

Kelly Stonelake spent nearly 15 years at Meta — rising to Director of Product Marketing and a senior role on Horizon Worlds — before becoming one of the most prominent whistleblowers in the fight for kids' online safety. She walked away from millions in unvested stock rather than sign an agreement protecting Meta from accountability, and has since testified before the FTC, the Washington State Senate, and been a key voice throughout the civil trials where Meta and YouTube were just found guilty of knowingly harming children. In this episode, Kelly breaks down what she witnessed from the inside, why the current wave of lawsuits feels different, and what every parent needs to understand about how these platforms are actually built.Follow Kelly on LinkedIn and subscribe to her Substack:- https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellystonelake/- https://overturned.substack.com/
