Notes on the Social Dilemma

 Some things that I found very alarming about this documentary is how big time social media companies and their goals are to get the user to give up as much as their time to the company as possible. It is scary to think that it is almost like a brainwashing tool. It is so interesting to me how much thought goes into every little bit of a social media website. How important refreshing a page is when it seems like such a little thing, but it is designed specifically to keep you on the application. Another fact that I found very interesting on the second watch day of this documentary is that fake news travels 6 times faster on twitter than real news.
