Since the inception of social media in people's lives, whether you admit it or not, the world has changed. Today, these major social media companies have some of the most important tools and "algorithms" that can essentially manipulate a human mind and make them do something they didn't think they would do. So, the latest original from Netflix, "The Social Dilemma" captures this harsh reality quite comprehensively for the public to understand and see the terrible effects of all these social media platforms on humanity.

Clearly mimicking the name of the movie, "The Social Network," which showed the creation of Facebook, "The Social Dilemma" is a docu-drama (part documentary, part drama) directed by Emmy-winning director Jeff Orlowski. There are interviews with various important people in the technology industry, from the engineer who created YouTube's recommendation algorithm to the author of "Ten reasons to delete your social media accounts right now".

Now the film is very well done and shows the exact times when social media became a nuisance instead of a means of communication. It shows how humanity is gradually moving from the information age to the disinformation age, with social media as the catalyst for the situation.

On the one hand, the film presents an acted drama of a family with two social-media-fanatic kids who can't keep their phones down. On the other side, there are real engineers, writers, venture capitalists and tech entrepreneurs talking about the negatives of social media.
