Must say I HAVE NOT read the litany of responses on the Thread. I glanced thru, saw some of the "usual suspects' and usual diatribes.

We just saw the Netflix show. In three letters or words = OMG.

First it was extremely well made and the former execs of the various firms were VERY well spoken and each was previously intricately involved in decisions, designing, managing, coding, many of the platforms used in these GIANT firms. Certainly each was very 'well off' after serving in those companies, stocks, etc. So $$$$-wise nothing to lose apparently, but their conscience weighs on them now.

For anyone that has Netflix, I strongly recommend 1.5 hours to watch this, even if you don't use all this Social Media stuff.

They illustrated several quotes re the topics - One was "There are primarily 2 industries that call their customers "Users" - Social Media and Ililicit Drug".

Not totally concerned with us, as we are low-level "Users". Oh - Social Media that is. But our families, the country, and the world...OMG. It has transformed us all since 2010, and we ARE at a very critical point. Apparently our only hope is self-restrictions by all these Social Media firms (HAAHHH!!!) or Government Controls and regulation (almost want to repeat the HAAHHH!). It's all about the power, control, clicks, and primarily making the numbers each quarter. Unfortunately the Government & Social Media Giants have that both in common. Not lookin' good.

...wonderin' if I should post this on my Facebook account? .... nah.....
