    Someone at work was talking about this Netflix documentary today. Has anyone else seen it?
    If so .... thoughts?

    I’ve seen it. It’s eye opening..Most people think they know how social media companies operate and they’re up to, then there’s the rest you don’t know.

    One thing though, and It’s a bit hypocritical on my part, as someone who does use social media sites, I’d happily shut Facebook down tomorrow if I could, and erase it from every single persons mind, it’s and absolute sewer.

    I deleted Facebook App off of my phone and have not signed into it now for about 7 months. Best thing I ever did. It’s difficult at first but you just forget about it then.

    Me too. As you say, difficult at first but now I just don’t understand why I ever bothered.

    I got rid donkeys ago, and I’ve never felt the urge to go back at all.

    analytics and harvesting people's online data is a big reason why so many places in the world are so divided. certain groups are feeding specific sections of society misinformation designed solely to push their buttons and make them angry and its working fantastically well
