Watched it today as well. Main point was that even if you DO choose not to participate, their ability to subtly manipulate the minds of billions of others will have an impact on you and an impact on society.
The media is the same way. I can choose not to believe fake news. But the riots and the cities that are being burned demonstrate that enough are being swayed and manipulated by it.
Watch one video on police brutality, you end up in an algorithm that serves you up hundreds more until you believe there is nothing but. Enough people in the algorithm turns into a violent riot.
It was a very good documentary. It had a bit of pro climate change and such. But I thought it made some good points.
I agree with that. Even disconnecting from any platform you would still be bombarded by those who still use said platforms.
I guess if I do decide to eliminate the apps I’ll only have FR to come to. I don’t utilize too many other news sites, Fox being one, OANN and occasionally Breitbart.
I’m actually getting tired, stressed and angry at what I’m seeing in our country these days and Free Republic is not an overtly angry site.
