This Netflix original documentary from Jeff Orlowski examines the starling fact that addiction and privacy breaches on social media platforms are features, not glitches in the design.

Anyone who uses social media knows that it can be addictive but, as stated in the New York Times,“ conscientious defectors” from these companies explain that the “ perniciousness of social networking platforms is a feature, not a bug”.

The documentary stars Skyler Gisondo, Kara Hayward. and Vincent Kartheiser. Watch the trailer right here.
