They showed how technology is affecting the children: the preteen girl busts open the timed safe to get her phone; the teenage boy ignores a teenage girl asking him on a date because he is too caught up in his phone.

One thing they failed to address, is that the parents are addicted to the technology, too. Parents are limiting their kids access to tech, but they themselves can’t stay away from it.

They point out that the real threat isn't the technology itself, but rather the beliefs that people are manipulated into believing that have real world consequences.

It became less about the tech companies being shady and needing to fix their algorithms, and more about how there are people that think differently (specifically flat earthers and pizzagaters) that are harmful to society.

Maybe I'm wrong, but by the end of the documentary, it felt like propaganda, because it didn't stay impartial.
I'm pretty sure they said the train is going too fast to slow down, the algorithm now has evolved, that they probably couldn't change the algorithm if they could, and even if they could that by doing so it would make it less effective essentially losing companies millions+ of dollars, which we all know ain't gonna happen.

I believe the moral of the story is they need government to step in, which is scary to most conservatives (including myself), but damn that AI scares me more.

Not sure but if getting rid of social media helps implement communism faster, then I'm all for it.

I really think they could improve social media by 100% by removing followers from public viewing and the amount of likes you get from your profile, i thought instagram was going to start doing this so i have no idea why it never happened.

Just by doing that would be a huge positive for mental heath

actually agreed with this and glad im not the only who thought they used this to put an end to conspiracy theories. netflix pushing paedo cuties and then denouncing pizza gate when paedo rings are 100% a real thing
