↩️ Stay Tuned #IndieWeb Community planning Second Screen screening party for Social Dilemma soon. IMO no dilemma anymore. If you use Facebook property you support racism & undermining of US democracy. #edtechchat (https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/ByX20)

↩️ And like most movement work, they'll end up absorbing these funds and not groups like SSB, the Open Web Working Group, IndieWeb, etc that does something that's rare - center PEOPLE at technology and not advertisers or some human-into-digital-cattle landscape.

The Social Dilemma is a 2020 [[Netflix]] docudrama that is critical of [[social media]] silos, and their use [[recommendation engine]]s in [[algorithmic feed]]s to create more and more addictive behaviors by their users to maximize their [[advertising]] business models, though presented from the viewpoint of former employees of those [[silos]] who have since turned into critics, without mentioning long-standing critical activists or

For those who are interested in it, I've got a Twitter list entitled "Weapons of Math Destruction" with some of the algorithm researchers we discussed last night: https://twitter.com/i/lists/1010551266714443782. It's got everyone but @hypervisible on it (apparently I've been blocked--thus my maintenance of a separate account just for him)

From the IndieWeb chat: Tantek Çelik suggests “Blocktober”. Block the big social networks in October. Maybe you can’t quit Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube forever, but you can do it for a month. https://chat.indieweb.org/2020-09-13/1600035511205600
