The Social Dilemma said it plain: the app was built to keep you, not to serve you. If you've felt trapped, that's not weakness that's engineering. Be gentle with yourself. Then take one small step toward the door. We'll be on the other side, saving you a seat with friends. #TheSocialDilemma

Why does IG feel safe while Meta faces a $1.4T trial? Because the harm has no crash, no bruise, no bill in the mail. The Social Dilemma named it: "the gradual, slight, imperceptible change in your own behavior." Feeling safe IS the product. Pass it on. #TheSocialDilemma

Serious question for everyone still on Instagram: what would Meta actually have to do for you to leave? They monetized your photos, your kids' attention, now even crisis conversations get processed by their systems. Name your line. I'm genuinely asking. #TheSocialDilemma

The Social Dilemma nailed it: the real product is "the gradual, slight, imperceptible change in your own behavior." You never FEEL Instagram changing you. That's the design working. Honest question when did you last go a full day without opening it? #TheSocialDilemma

I couldn't keep going watching #thesocialdilemma bc the little fictional humans-as-algorithms scheming & strategizing to keep ppl on their screens felt ridiculous. There was a lot of worthy content, interviews, etc. in it. Whyyy did they decide to anthropomorphize algorithms?

Good insights from Zoe! And this is tip of iceberg of what unchecked AI is doing. Our clicks in social media are driving Tech Co profits. We have become the product not the consumer!!! #Thesocialdilemma

To be honest, I have never been on 4chan, so I may have a bias. That said, I have heard not one good thing about it. It seems to be a hotbed for hateful, sick, and disturbing content. I support regulation of the internet and so should you. #TheSocialDilemma www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
