- Sandy Parakilas is the former Facebook employee who blew the whistle on the firm's internal security practices during the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
- He will travel to Brussels on Monday to explain to European lawmakers how Facebook could have prevented Cambridge Analytica from obtaining 87 million user profiles.
- Parakilas said the data breach was a "disaster" for which the only person who should be fired is CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself.
- Parakilas said he wants to keep holding Facebook to account until it does more to protect elections.
If Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg didn't know Sandy Parakilas' name when he quit Facebook in 2012, they certainly do now.
Parakilas was an operations manager at Facebook's Menlo Park headquarters in California between 2011 and 2012. He became headline news in late 2017 when he warned that Facebook couldn't regulate itself in an op-ed for the New York Times.
