TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Jeff Orlowski-Yang was a heavy Facebook user before making the film. He's not now.

Vincent Kartheiser, who features in the film-within-the-film, ironically has no connections with social networks in any shape or form. He and his wife Alexis Bledel eschew all the trappings of Hollywood in favor of a simple living lifestyle.

One of the subjects, Tristan Harris, is a college friend of the director, Jeff Orlowski-Yang.

Premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

The film won 2 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Writing for a Nonfiction Program and Outstanding Picture Editing for a Nonfiction Program.

Popular Dialogues

"Justin Rosenstein - Facebook, Former Engineer: We live in a world in which a tree is worth more, financially, dead than alive, in a world in which a whale is worth more dead than alive. For so long as our economy works in that way and corporations go unregulated, they're going to continue to destroy trees, to kill whales, to mine the earth, and to continue to pull oil out of the ground, even though we know it is destroying the planet and we know that it's going to leave a worse world for future generations. This is short-term thinking based on this religion of profit at all costs, as if somehow, magically, each corporation acting in its selfish interest is going to produce the best result. This has been affecting the environment for a long time. What's frightening, and what hopefully is the last straw that will make us wake up as a civilization to how flawed this theory has been in the first place, is to see that now we're the tree, we're the whale. Our attention can be mined. We are more profitable to a corporation if we're spending time staring at a screen, staring at an ad, than if we're spending that time living our life in a rich way. And so, we're seeing the results of that. We're seeing corporations using powerful artificial intelligence to outsmart us and figure out how to pull our attention toward the things they want us to look at, rather than the things that are most consistent with our goals and our values and our lives."

"Self - Facebook, Former Operations Manager: We've created a system that biases towards false information. Not because we want to, but because false information makes the companies more money than the truth. The truth is boring."
