'The Social Dilemma': What the Haunting Netflix Documentary Reveals About Social Media - Showbiz Cheat Sheet
Sep 16, 2020 46 secs

The new Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma is — ironically — picking up a lot of traction on social media.

While we need to be having conversations about the long-term effects on society of apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter — maybe it’s best we have those conversations in analog.

The movie sheds light on the sneaky and manipulative ways these social media websites and apps keep us addicted — and divided.

What does the haunting doc The Social Dilemma really reveal?

As Harris points out in The Social Dilemma, humans evolved as a species to be social, and to care what our “tribe” thinks — but we did not evolve to take in “10,000” different opinions from all over the world.

The Social Dilemma also points to a huge issue on social media these days: fake news.

This means that social media apps have no incentive to tell the truth — or to show users anything outside of their political bubble.
