  This documentary might make you want to delete every social media account you have (except Letterboxd).

  It’s public knowledge that social media is bad for you. Everyone knows their data is being used for marketing. Propaganda and disinformation is rampant. The algorithm produces content for you to consume longer. 

  Is social media dangerous? Yes. Should kids be using social media? Probably not. Have I seen negative affects on my own life from social media usage? Sure.

  The thing is I don’t need a bunch of middle aged rich white tech guru men to tell me that. I think there’s a lot to be said about the positive effects of social media that isn’t talked about here. It shouldn’t just be “social media bad.” I think social media requires a balance; it requires critical thinking when it comes to information. 

  This documentary feels like it’s only promoting that social media ruins your kid’s lives (with terrible cut scenes.)

  my netflix: do I have your full attention?
  me *sitting on my phone*: You have part of my attention – you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at Letterboxd, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your movie, is intellectually or creatively capable of doing. Did I adequately answer your condescending question?

  Review by grace ★★ 7

  yeah there’s some fascinating points. but NOT them insinuating that there’s real life people controlling each of our notifications and targeted ads. especially not a white guy with dreads telling me to delete instagram. miss me with that shit.

  Perhaps the single most lucid, succinct, and profoundly terrifying analysis of social media ever created for mass consumption, Jeff Orlowski’s “The Social Dilemma” does for Facebook what his previous documentaries “Chasing Ice” and “Chasing Coral” did for climate change (read: bring compelling new insight to a familiar topic while also scaring the absolute shit out of you). And while the film covers — and somehow manages to contain — a staggering breadth of topics and ramifications, one little sentence is all it takes to lay out the means and ends of the crisis at hand: Russia didn’t hack Facebook, Russia used Facebook.

  That may not be a mind-blowing idea for anyone who’s been raised on the internet, but it would…
