I highly recommend watching this documentary. I was skeptical that Netflix could present any useful unbiased information on this topic and was pleasantly surprised.
The concept of how algorithms control social media feeds to manipulate users is shown through clever dramatizations along with interviews with the guys who created these algorithms. This situation is much worse and more malevolent than I could have imagined.
There is some liberal bias evident, particularly one scene where some pompous a-hole goes on about how the Russians used Facebook to steal the 2016 election, but it’s clear that the filmmakers put a lot of effort into not making this a liberal trope.
watched the trailer...and it included the phrase “more election hacking”...clearly referring to Russia/2016.
not interested in seeing the whole thing. there are plenty of social media exposes online, without a Netflix version.
These same algorithms control all of the major sites. That is unspoken. Watch the news sites. Same pinging and selective presentations
