The Great Hack | Netflix Official Site - https://www.netflix.com/ca/Title/80117542
@Wetrix Man I tried to watch that film, I guess I was under the wrong impression of what to expect, I thought it was going to be about data mining and the power of big tech and their intrusion into our lives. I felt mislead about a third of the way in when i realized it was a bunch of very very edited interviews about political activism.
@mister_monster yeah I'm feeling the same way. They spent WAY TO MUCH time going on about Cambridge Analytica
@mister_monster it seems this documentary focused almost entirely on Cambridge.
I was hoping it was about more than just the Cambridge/Shitbook incident.
@Wetrix Yeah I would absolutely love a not necessarily political, easily digestible documentary regarding personal privacy online, it would be great if something like that were published on a mainstream distribution platform like Netflix. Unfortunately most mainstream distribution platforms rely on privacy violations to be profitable so it is unlikely you'll ever get something like that without a political agenda shoehorned in.
@mister_monster absolutely. It'd have to be crowd funded so you didn't have biased backers.
@Wetrix Yeah and i get the impression that some of the people in the film wanted to make a bigger deal out of themselves than they were.
I actually learned a lot from this interview here https://invidio.us/watch?v=yjn6wK01cqk whether people like or trust this guy, he is very good at what he does, very candid about it and what he believes and really goes into depth about his field of work. I don't necessarily agree with him on what he does but i gleaned some info on how it all works and that is always good.
