I just watched this on Netflix --The Social Dilemma--For those interested in current Social issues around the world try and watch it..A recent USA Senate review of giant tech companies was made causing one of the Senate participants say something like "I am 63 years old and this is the most frightening thing we are facing in history"..If you can,t watch it on Netflix they are having a discussion about it on Q and A on this Monday.

Great doco.
'Next. Another great doco..
V good show. Makes u wonder about how much events such as those in the USA might be manipulated and exasperated by social media.
Tad you should also check out The Great Hack doco on Netflix.
Thanks MB We are on track for Dystopia. Gee our kids will have a lot to contend with.
Twitter and Facebook have turned into the equivalent of the Nazi's burning books.
I have neither Twitter nor Facebook accounts or any other accounts involving social media (maybe here if it counts) and lead an almost normal life.
The only Social Dilemma in the world today is APATHY>
People sitting back and doing nothing about what is happening, apart from whinging on Social Media, or making docos on our Social Dilemma.
We need another Eureka Stockade in Australia imo.
ACTION, not mamby bamby talking and whinging, is what will change things
The Social Dilemma Sir Col the way I understand it is how technology has had intentions to enhance information and human services and through artificial intelligence type manipulations has become a major threat to our existence.You only have to look around the world and conflicts around major social issues which have become very divisive and will bring us all down. The suggestion is we could become a dystopian type society within our live time. The Economy and life as we know it will become so much harder to survive. Keep fit mate because we are headed into a Darwinian survival of the fittest future. There is little chance that little will change from the path we are sitting on. I suspect many will see this as B/S —- that’s where your apathy comment resonates with me. The evidence is very clear.
Exactly my point Tad - ARTIFICIAL *cough*splutter* Intelligence has replaced real intelligence and developed a society filled with Social Media Whinging Morons.
History does repeat and has done since day dot - We statrted with Dictatorial leadership, revolted to get Feudal Leadership, revolted again to develop the biggest joke of them all, Dee-mock-racy and are now on the downward slide into Dictartorial rule (which is what we have today)
Like the Chinese this has not been accidental, it has been planned and slowly imposed on us over many decades using propaganda and now the strength of Social Media.
Once we joked, if it is on Google you know its true, now it has become, if it is on Social Media (all platforms) it must be true.
The ONLY objections we are seeing are on Social media and that means Jack Shit to those on charge.
