RE: /The Social Dilemma - Summary of the Documentary with Personal Reflection

I haven’t watched it myself but I’ve heard of it and it seems like it’s a pretty good thing to watch. The way these companies have control and manipulate millions of people around the world is crazy.

Fakebook was originally an MIT / CIA project started by the American government. The goal of it was to convince people to tell them every aspect of their lives; when they ate, what they ate, who they talk to, who they don’t and the list goes on. The researchers in the early 2000’s thought they were crazy because the privacy factor was completely ruined but they persisted and the literal day before Facebook was founded, Zuckerberg was one of the project leads, the entire project was scrapped by MIT and everyone was fired. The next day, the company and website of Facebook was founded. James Corbett at the Corbett report has done a number of videos and research on this and it’s crazy.

The money these companies make is completely from selling our information to the highest bidder, often governments employed through fake companies and stuff. It’s crazy what they want to do with it and we see the goal post being slowly pushed forward as far as crazy things that happen in our world.

The other bad aspect of it is random events throughout the world and disasters are much more in the front of our minds. They happen and it’s terrible but news about it spreads like fire and people get sick over worrying about things that really don’t have that much of an impact to our lives overall if they really took into account statistics of things happening.
