It’s called “ The Social Dilemma “

If you ever wondered why social unrest, political divisiveness and civil disobedience are increasing at exponential rates this is your answer.

Watched it with the wife last week and had the whole family sit down and watch it tonight. It got through to my 14 year old, and we all know how hard that is.

Did it have any news about the Resurrection of Jesus?

Did it mention all of this is orchestrated by Satan?

Bolsheviks.

And no, didn't need to watch it to know what the correct answer is.

You should still watch it. Thinking you know the answer doesn’t mean you actually do. Answer might surprise you.

What source did you access it from? link?

Soros and china are scared spitless of trump, that's why. They thought they could neutralize him and impeach him, or wed have had this stuff several years ago. Now they are REALLY scared. hundreds of top DNC , generals media and govt pricks are going to prison over the coup attempt, bet your butt on it.

Where to watch it?

I gotta agree with this.....

It’s a documentary on Netflix and it is excellent I agree with OP it’d be well worth anyone watching it was very interesting and thought provoking.

Thanks....

Netflix was the source. No need to go down the rabbit hole discussion on Netflix, it is on my list of things that will no longer be recieving my patronage.

Hopefully this happens, And FBI too, Lots of FBI agents are gonna be arrested. and of course the agency needs reform.

I might watch it. But I'm very dubious about *any* information that is approved to be spread through mass media these days.

Controlled opposition is off the charts in the modern age.

Pretty damning of much of social media (Facebook, without saying that) even for Netflix. Interesting the psychology of addiction that is used.

Damn you dopamine!

I had a friend that insisted I watch it at their house as I don't have Netfixs these days. My impression was those on there made their money creating the monster then got a conscience only after their bank account was full. Theres a lot of talk about the documentary on social media which I find ironic.

I would agree with this take on it, but they still developed a conscious. A lot of new technology and development is created with reasonably good intentions and as it progresses morphs into something never intended. We as humans seem to have a knack for that. The information they convey about purposeful manipulation of the human psyche for profit needs to be shared and behaviors changed on a societal scale.

Just watch it, then get your families to watch it, and their kids especially.

+1 endorsement.

this documentary confirmed alot of what I already suspected, and has me rethinking my online presence.

So now they have a conscience ?
So now they have quilt ?
B.S.
they just thought up another way to make millions .
Do you REALLY think MSM is going to allow the truth . The same media that will remove your anti ANTIFA and BLM statements?
They sat back with their evil grin and said let’s feed them what they want to hear .
And we’ll make millions running them down our rabbit hole .
If they are feeling so guilty , why don’t they take that ill gotten wealth and help people who lost their lively hoods and injured by their thugs ?
Well hell , that’s being ridiculous , right ?

LOL, The do gooders are double dipping. To be fair I only watched 15 minutes of it. Those pricks make me sick with their fake guilt.

BEWARE! The social media is very bad. This is true, BUT the minute someone tells you they have an obligation to "fix it" what they are really saying is they will rig it even worse! Who is going to "fix" it? The same evil people who created it.

Use GAB! Now. The solution is not to "fix" algorithms. The solution is to broaden and decentralize ownership of social media.

Thanks EWF,

If you say it's worth the time I'll check it out.

Yep, I watched it last night after seeing this thread. Almost made me hesitate to pick up my phone this morning. I'm probably pretty safe as the Fire is the extent of my social media addiction, and I use adblock.

I haven't seen it. Does there seem to be a specific group of people that the documentary is trying to scare away from social media?

It’s worth watching. Social media is like playing the slots with a side of cocaine. Same brain games and the programers know it. Which is why their kids don’t get to play on social media.

Well, i will agree when you throw in Clinton, zero,Piglosi, Schumer, Feinstein, Central Banks, world bank, Queen of England, C_A, C_A assets running China, Iran, Canada, France, Germany, NZ, Australia FOR THE DEEP STATE NWO CABAL, Fed Reserve (whoops-no, Trump's got that along with NK and SA), MSM, Hollywood, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Google, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Disney, UN, GE, .....

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at ww.gab.com"

I'll look for it.

I don’t have Netflix but the impression that I got from the Wikipedia page is that the “internet is bad” is the overall theme of what’s wrong with society.

It seems like misdirection.

The problems that society is facing run a whole deeper than the internet. The real problem is the left and the communist globalist society that they’re pushing for and there desire to control all things media and internet so that they can control us.

Really explains why we're becoming so polarized and the two sides have gotten so extreme in their views.

Basically it exposes the extent of the social media companies manipulating your reality through algorithms that know more about you than you know about yourself.
Electronic crack cocaine for the brain.

pretty much what it is

I won’t watch anything on Netflix. It’s the Halfican Channel.
It might be a great documentary. But those sorry Fuggers aren’t getting a single dime of my money!

Saw it. Was a bit biased

And imagine its affect on young generations with developing brains? Literally trained monkeys for the future to do your bidding. Look at all the dumb middle class white chicks and beta males at the BLM protests looting and destroying cities. And their parents have zero influence, control or connection with them because they wanted to be their friends.

Yep. Idiot white kids raised up getting participation trophies and playing video games out looting and burning with the same Groids that would happily kill them for their IPhone. Or $10 worth of crack. 😡

Just finished watching it and had to get on social media right away to talk about it.

Interesting to learn some of the history of its evolution and how the monetization affected it and just how insidious the AI algorithms behind it really are. And I can see how and why it affects younger folks even more - this is the only world they've known.

Their solutions recommended toward the end - government regulation mostly - seem unworkable since SM is an addiction and it's something with a huge demand. Prohibition of alcohol never worked and the war on drugs hasn't worked worth a damn, so simple regulations against social media won't work either, they'd just make the SM companies hide their manipulation in some other way. If history is any teacher they'd invariably provide opportunities for sort of actual criminal underground SM to appear. The idea of changing the monetization seems like the only real long term solution so it will be interesting to see how the really smart kids can do that.



Oh yeah, and I'm dusting off my old 80's VHS porn tapes and setting the clock on the VCR back to blinking 12:00, no more manipulative on line stuff for me...

The truly surreal aspect of this is that the country could be manipulated into a civil war not due to some direct action toward a political goal but simply as an unintended side effect of seeking advertising revenue.

Really isn’t pushed by any one group, it’s basically figured out how to amplify our own desires and create positive feedback loops and use it to get us to click and thus sell more advertising.

Some of the opinions thrown out on this thread really show its effectiveness.

MM

Seriously just watch it, it’s enlightening.

Once the companies knew about the statistics on teen depression and suicides they, in my opinion, are responsible. And as far as civil war, I completely agree, it could take us there.

Run a VPN with split tunneling and enjoy the video and your anonymity.

You need more than an ad blocker. You need software to prevent tracking.

Browser extensions.

uBlock Origin (much better ad blocker)
Privacy Badger (anti tracking)
HTTPS Everywhere (force the use of encrypted traffic)

All these are open source and free.

This still does not guarantee stopping all tracking, but it helps a lot, and it is much better than just adblock.

My feelings exactly.

Sorry typo.

When the word "Social" is being forced on people anywhere in the world...There is bound to be problems there.

Actually, no I don't.

Time is too precious and life's to short to waste on others' ideas of "must" anythings.

Don't want any restaurant recommendations either.

Not sure how The wording of the recommendation would come off as offensive but .....

Enjoy your favorite restaurant, I’ll keep mine to myself.
