After recently watching the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma (Director Jeff Orlowski, 2020), recommended to us by our course leader. I found myself shocked by the statistics and ethnical discussions involved within social media, and how some of the founders of the social media industry are scared of what they have helped discover and make.

Last module I also had a skype with a few ot...
