Recall that we need to trust Meta: The Social Reckonin g

The documentary “The Social Reckoning” that Aaron Sorkin manages, takes the real impact of Meta’s social media platforms on society. The news reminds Sorkin’s basic message it carries on this topic, causing skeptical approach to giant technology companies like Meta.

The document highlights important issues:

• Meta’s history of privacy and data management** creates serious birds against transparency promises
• Research and findings on how much algorithmism affects human behavior
• Social polarization contribution of content moderation failures
• contradictions between the descriptions that the company provides to the public with internal reports
• Observation of proven negative effects on youth and mental health

Meta’s constant reduction of their own behavior and liability, not only to this company, but to large tech companies, we embrace our trust. Sorkin’s documentary successfully reveals the dangers of the unregulated power of such platforms.

As a result, social media users and policy makers need to develop a more critical perspective against meta and similar platforms.
