Netflix documentary: The Great Hack

[Takket]

Just came out today. Look it up if you have Netflix. It details how Cambridge Analytica with Facebook's data... well... are destroying democracy.

It will make you sick.

1. Thanks. Will check and pass along.

Feel sick every day anyway.

2. We watched it this morning

Nothing shocks me anymore, but, Boy howdy, my wife was cursing a blue streak, and she rarely swears.

3. Everyone needs to watch this

We all need to appreciate what we are up against. You understand how 2016 happened.

4. I watched this last night with my family

I though it was overblown, and full of shit. My wife saw some more subtle stuff in there I did not get. Here's my take:

First, it took an hour too long to tell the story. It was a much simpler story than they gave us.

Second, the CEO was not the only bad guy. Everyone of those bastards should be held accountable.

Third, Facebook is the only one being held up as "bad". (actually Cambridge Analytica) Everyone hyperscaler does the same thing- they sell your shit to the highest bidder. Facebook, Amazon, Google, Yahoo, Alibaba, Baidu... they are all the same. Some of these you have never heard of- but they know who you are.

5. Kick

They must be stopped. People don't know what is happening to them. Turn Facebook off.

6. I've been avoiding it fearfully

I’ve also been avoiding the one on Trump too. I want to know if it’s pro or against Trump first. I fear my head will really explode if it’s pro Trump..
