The Social Dilemma

[Consept]

Just wanted to recommend this doc, its on netflix and features loads of contributors from the tech industry essentially warning of the dangers of social media but also literally telling you what they do/did. Essentially social media is affecting elections, destabilising governments, creating polarisation, radicalising people, as well as affecting people on individual levels.  

Questions, have algorithms taken over all of us? What can we do to change this and use social media for more positive things that dont affect us as a society in such negative ways? How do you warn people about when theyve effectively been brain washed by their particular bubble?

Social media is another evil.

Seconding this recommend. Worth watching. Already was aware of most issues presented, but I thought it was a well made doc and glad it’s out there. Deleted all my social media accounts over a year ago and was one of the best personal decisions I’ve ever made.

There is another one, but I haven't watched it yet.
