Summaries
The Social Dilemma (2020) - Explores the dangerous human impact of
social networking, with tech experts sounding the alarm on their own creations.
Set in the dark underbelly of Silicon
Valley, The Social Dilemma fuses investigative documentary with enlightening
narrative drama. Expert testimony from tech whistle-blowers exposes our
disturbing predicament: the services Big Tech provides-search engines,
networks, instant information, etc.-are merely the candy that lures us to bite.
Once we're hooked and coming back for more, the real commodity they sell is
their prowess to influence and manipulate us.

Movie Review
Social
media is not only scarring self esteem, making people question their self
worth, causing dissatisfaction in life, increasing depression and suicides at
an alarming rate but now has transcend past to more dangerous territory. It is
now altering behaviour and changing the perception of how people perceive this
world rigidly than ever at the expense of attention that is being sold.
Democracy is being toppling around the
world, political divide is higher and more extreme than ever, false news is
spreading faster than the speed of light, citizens are on the verge of civil
war.
This is bad and I can see it, I just
didn't knew social media is responsible for it.
