  • We tweet, we like, and we share- but what are the consequences of our growing dependence on social media? As digital platforms increasingly become a lifeline to stay connected, Silicon Valley insiders reveal how social media is reprogramming civilization by exposing what’s hiding on the other side of your screen.
    Netflix.com/th...
    ABOUT THE SOCIAL DILEMMA
    The world has long recognized the positive applications of social media, from its role in empowering protesters to speak out against oppression during the Arab Spring uprisings almost a decade ago, to serving an instrumental role in fighting for equity and justice today. And in 2020, during an astonishing global pandemic, social media has become our lifeline to stay in touch with loved ones, as well as proving to be an asset for mobilizing civil rights protests. However, the system that connects us also invisibly controls us. The collective lack of understanding about how these platforms actually operate has led to hidden and often harmful consequences to society-consequences that are becoming more and more evident over time, and consequences that, the subjects in The Social Dilemma suggest, are an existential threat to humanity.
    The Social Dilemma is a powerful exploration of the disproportionate impact that a relatively small number of engineers in Silicon Valley have over the way we think, act, and live our lives. The film deftly tackles an underlying cause of our viral conspiracy theories, teenage mental health issues, rampant misinformation and political polarization, and makes these issues visceral, understandable, and urgent. Through a unique combination of documentary investigation and entertaining narrative drama, award-winning filmmakers Jeff Orlowski (Chasing Ice, Chasing Coral) and Larissa Rhodes (Chasing Coral) have once again exposed the invisible in a manner that is both enlightening and harrowing as they disrupt the disrupters by unveiling the hidden machinations behind everyone’s favorite social media and search platforms.
    The film features compelling interviews with high-profile tech whistleblowers and innovation leaders including Tristan Harris of the Center for Humane Technology; the co-inventor of the Facebook “Like” button, Justin Rosenstein; Tim Kendall, former President of Pinterest and former Director of Monetization at Facebook; Cathy O’Neil, author of Weapons of Math Destruction; Rashida Richardson, Director of Policy at the AI Now Institute, and many others. Demonstrating how social media affects consumers on a personal level, these fascinating insider insights are seamlessly woven into a captivating narrative, including Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men), that illuminates the very real consequences these seemingly innocent technologies can have on our everyday lives.

      I believe that at the latest after seeing documentations like “The social dilemma”, we should come to the conclusion that social media as we know them have ruined the whole concept of social networking, which could be one of the most useful forms of communication. - If it would be structured properly. The most popular platforms have been optimized only to monetize our need to socialize online, our creativity, our expertise, our ambitions to create valuable communities, that maybe couldn’t exist in real life.

      The documentary recommends government regulation as the solution. In other words, give the powerful politicians who are the most corrupt POS on earth even more power. Cue the sad piano music at the end to aid in your decision making. Because we all know why this was made: the American people failed to elect one of the two establishment hacks they offered up in 2016, which they call a "bad outcome" in the film. They must stop more bad outcomes. No more wrong think. No more opinions. Only think the same thoughts as the establishment.

    I'm surprised that people are just now figuring this out. You dont have to be on Facebook or any other platform. Parents dont have to give their cell phones. They can enroll them in sports, arts classes, after school programs and do any number of things to help them interact socially. Our data isn't being mined by social media alone. It started with television ratings and advertising. There's also store cards that help grocery stores print coupons at the register for products you like, brand loyalty cards, radio advertising etc. I remember wanting Nike shoes as a kid because of a TV ad I saw. It took forever to save up enough to get them. That's when I got my first loyalty card too. I got a punch everytime I shopped there. When I spent "X" amount I got a discount. When I wore the shoes I valued every complement "like" etc. So, we needn't act like it's a new concept. We just need to hit the off button a little more often and find a tree to climb or a club to join.

    Make Relations with real people not with the virtual ones. Don't search everything on google.. read books.
    Be Spiritual. Don't put everything on social media.
    You'll be happy. 🙂

      Tbf, polarization can happen regardless of social media though, mostly because of stuff like cognitive biases, cognitive dissonance, fallacies, etc.
      There's also plenty of moments throughout history where people have tried processing a lot of heavy, morally ambiguous things through demonization of other people (as shown in a lot of studies about tribalism or groupthink or when people develop what their sense of justice/moral compass is).

      Uh, Netflix is a PAID platform WITHOUT targeted ads. Of course they need to make a profit to make and buy new series and movies. Netflix is a creative production company and content platform. What content does Facebook or Google make? None! Evne RUclips has stopped with their own original content. But Netflix actually creates content and only uses the information of what their customers like to make more great content. Netflix is not in the business of selling ads, selling data or manipulating their customers worldview for profit.

      two different things.. social media shows ads that take your data and sell it to others.. and it's free.. but Netflix is a paid platform.
      if you search for say, shoes on Google.. there's a high chance that when you're using some other website you get an ad for that product.. now that is bad.
      but if you're on Netflix and you search for some show.. and then it pops up on your recommendations on Netflix..(see it's not a different website, it's still Netflix) that's just okay cuz it's showing you that because you searched for it before.

      Netflix is just a place for you to choose a movie or tv series you would like to watch, no one forces you to be on it 24/7.... once a week or once a month IT'S YOU THAT CONTROLS your life NOT THE INTERNET AND IT'S TENTACULES. What the documentary shows is how many humans ARE HOOK on social media and how they make you a 'PRODUCT' FOR MONEY... check the streets for example and count how many people ARE NOT on their phones.... it's pure madness

    To the people saying Netflix is a part of this, I wouldn’t say so.
    Netflix is a service that you pay for, and that service includes it looking at what you like and recommending other things you’d like. You can opt out anytime and stop paying. They don’t sell your data to advertisers, everything they do is in service to you.
    Social Media is different though, because their main goal is to keep you hooked on the platform to feed you ads. This includes RUclips, Facebook, Reddit, etc. That’s why it’s free.
    Netflix isn’t doing any of that, they simply provide a personalised recommendation service that YOU pay for. You don’t see people scrolling Netflix during school or work, or Netflix buzzing you about a recent friend that likes a certain movie. Nor do you see ads everywhere on the site.
    I highly recommend this documentary btw.

If they are trying to seal me into a bubble, they're doing a pretty terrible job through the Google search function. Now RUclips (owned by Google, I do realize that) is a different story, although they still recommend videos that are opposite from my viewpoint, just not as frequently as they recommend ones that support it.

      2) climate change is solved by

      I think there is a debate to be had because coming up with solutions is not an easy task. The search results are perfectly aligned with my views it’s crazy :o

    I'm 18 idk if just me but I don't use tik tok, I'm not active on Instagram. I'm just glad I didn't build my life on social media. I'm active on other platforms such as reddit and RUclips but I use it to learn new things every day. Social media is just like everything in life. It's what you make of it and how often you consume it. If you're using social media to fill a void in your life it's going to destroy your self esteem. But if you use it the right way in moderation like for instance, knowing what's going on, learning new skills, asking for help on a assignment, etc ... It's the most helpful tool ever. When it's taken excessively, the problems settle in.

      You my friend are very mature for your age. Time is the most valuable asset we've got in our hands. We have to choose how we use our time wisely and stand out in the crowd. I barely use social media to anything but stuff that aggregates value to my life. My instagram account is active just to get in touch with people through the inbox. Facebook I use to check out groups about career topics, living abroad. I can spend ages not accessing any social networks. RUclips is the only one I access on a daily basis due to a course I am enrolled in, which has its videos uploaded on RUclips.

      All the temptations are there trying to penetrate into your mind. Most people are lured into those traps. Auto scrolling feeds, the reward system of likes. That's where the danger is. Those features where designed in a way to activate the same areas in the brain as when you're gambling and doing drugs. They are all very addictive. First and foremost, your auto control and priorities in life have to be well clear in your mind, otherwise you will be just another social media zombie wandering through useless feeds. I think it is time to call it a day. Enough of RUclips hahaha

      @@gabemvp I agree. That's why the atmosphere of social media has become toxic. Social media should be a place where we all connect with each other and make ever lasting memories. But unfortunately no, this is not the case in todays world. It's now a competition between who can get the most followers, likes, views, comments, etc. People on social media have created this whole fake profile of themselves just for validation and acceptance from society. A wise man once said, " you only see what they choose you to see". I have found this quote to be very true because the amount of people I've met in real life who were instafamus, tik tok famous, etc... were not happy. They use social media as a stratagem to fill the holes in their life. It's really sad. Thank you for contributing.

    I suddenly feel woke. And while most people joke about this, I for one am weening myself off Facebook (it's probably one of the first, along with Twitter) for division and conspiracy theories. Yeah, I felt myself going down the rabbit hole in regards to the political rhetoric. I was starting to wonder why my depression was becoming 10 fold and why I felt angry all the time. I think the hardest part about losing social media is knowing that you'll lose all those connections with people. You have to be prepared to sever the cord. I once did an experiment on FB and asked people, "Who would like to talk on the phone? I'll call anyone in US or the UK. Who wants to get off social media and just talk?" I got NO replies. This is the world we're in right now. No human connection. Deep down I knew social media was not a good thing. I think many of us are in a state of denial. I know I was.
    People wonder where groups like Qanon come from? They come from social media. So yes, people can joke about it but remember where this will lead us. Do we take the red pill, or the blue pill?

      @Aliengirl777 Star This is somewhat true but then you are faced with having little to no connections in your life. It's bad enough with the Covid-19 isolating people. So my first step is limiting my usage, only posting occasionally and when I do, it's something light or funny and eventually I will get used to the lack of contact. I also paint dolls and use FB as a source for my commissions. That would be a financial blow. It's where the doll communities are. All of my high school friends, people I used to work with and people I've known for 30+ years are on FB. I've already removed family from FB and unfriended about 44 people recently. Baby steps but I'll get there eventually. :)
