Aaron Sorkin is revisiting the impact of Facebook through a sequel to The Social Network, adapting reports from The Wall Street Journal. The new film will explore Facebook's awareness of the platform's harms on youth and its implications for the 2020 election. Sorkin emphasizes that Facebook's algorithm prioritizes divisive content to enhance user engagement, a point he ties to the January 6th insurrection. While it's uncertain if Jesse Eisenberg will return as Mark Zuckerberg, the project aims to shed light on Facebook's ethical dilemmas.
I blame Facebook for January 6. Facebook has been, among other things, tuning its algorithm to promote the most divisive material possible.
Sorkin's new movie will adapt the Wall Street Journal's articles that revealed Facebook knew of its negative impact on young users.
