    Not really in a position to watch a movie right now but this looks interesting. Could we have a summary? I'd like to make some time for this later.

      It's an unrelenting attack on Facebook's business ethics to put it simply. What I found most interesting though was footage of a young Zuckerberg and Facebook's first office I had never seen before.

    This is an interesting story about Facebook with an obvious anti-Facebook perspective. The story goes from Facebook's founding to modern day looking at how Facebook has cared, or not, about issues...

    One area the reporting falls short is in nailing down exactly what impact Russia's Facebook efforts had. I'd like to know things like how many ads are currently linked to Russia, how many fake accounts, how many posts, and how many have seen those posts. I'd like to see comparisons between the attitudes of people who use and don't use Facebook regarding the election - are there significant differences? I'd also like answers to these questions relating to the Russian involvement in the Ukraine.
