Sort of a gloom and doom documentary... and certainly not applicable to those without a social media addiction... but probably worth a watch for anyone with kids.

I say "not applicable" to those without social media addiction... and yet the rest of humanity is certainly affected by the actions and reactions of these brainwashed and manipulated, weak-minded souls to whom the doc was referring to.

A bit hypocritical-sounding to hear these young tech whizzes sounding the alarm on the systems they themselves have helped create... but useful info nonetheless.

My favorite part was where it explains the mentality of many conspiracy theorists, monitored and fed by the "suggestion engines", as they called them.... and prompted to reach out to yet other conspiracy theorists until the whole thing becomes some kind of brainwashed feeding frenzy. Certainly would explain a lot of things you read around here.

Will probably be poo-pooed by those already addicted to and controlled by social media... which basically just drives the point even further.

Bottom line is, which was touched on toward the end, that basically parents have a huge role in offsetting the Machiavellian purposes of social media and their intended effect on young, impressionable minds.
