Social Dilemma (2020)

Netflix


The Social Dilemma is a powerful exploration of the disproportionate impact that a relatively small number of engineers in Silicon Valley have over the way we think, act, and live our lives. The film deftly tackles an underlying cause of our viral conspiracy theories, teenage mental health issues, rampant misinformation and political polarization, and makes these issues visceral, understandable, and urgent. Through a unique combination of documentary investigation and entertaining narrative drama, award-winning filmmakers Jeff Orlowski (Chasing Ice, Chasing Coral) and Larissa Rhodes (Chasing Coral) have once again exposed the invisible in a manner that is both enlightening and harrowing as they disrupt the disrupters by unveiling the hidden machinations behind everyone’s favorite social media and search platforms.

美國國會踢爆:社群媒體正在逼您的孩子走到絕境!我們能怎麼自救?張修修的不正常人生 Shosho's Abnormal Life

February 2024


(1月2024年)美國科技業發生最大的一件事情,就是五大社群媒體公司的 CEO 被傳喚到美國參議院司法委員會的聽證會去,被參議員們連番砲轟。

 

認為這些老闆們為了公司的利益,用各種手段吸引青少年上癮,不但影響他們的心理健康,而且更因為疏於防止兒童性剝削、毒品、自我傷害等內容的傳播,讓許多孩童受害,祖老闆還直接被噴說雙手沾滿了鮮血。

 

為了知道發生什麼事情,我竟然把快四小時的聽證會看完了,再加上一部講社群媒體危害的紀錄片 Childhood 2.0,以及把最近吵得沸沸揚揚的 iWin 事件來龍去脈搞清楚,結果周末就這樣過了。 這集節目我會跟大家分享我的看法,以及我自己會採取的措施。如果你家裡也有青少年的孩子,這個議題你真的一定要知道。
