I don’t buy it. “The Social Dilemma” is not as revolutionary and inclusive as it could be.

So yes, watch it — it does open our eyes even more about what is used from us when we use social media and the effects on reshaping our society. I am glad there are more documentaries and open discussions about this.

And let’s be critical too: this is mostly cis white men* confessing that they made terrible decisions at dominant tech companies for years and that it fucked everyone else in the world.
