Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen has alleged that the social network 'lied' to its independent Oversight Board repeatedly. The board has now invited her to meet and discuss her experiences and gather more information about her accusations against the social media platform.

In a tweet late on Monday, former Facebook employee Haugen said she will speak to Facebook independent Oversight Board at its invitation.

"I have accepted the invitation to brief the Facebook Oversight Board about what I learned while working there. Facebook has lied to the board repeatedly, and I am looking forward to sharing the truth with them," she said.

In a statement, the Oversight Board said that in the last few weeks, new information about Facebook's approach to content moderation has come to light as a result of Haugen's actions.
