Speaking from personal experience - I watched the film with my girlfriend and a lot of it was news to her. It's changed her relationship with social media and technology.

I also suggested it to a friend who was pretty addicted to Facebook and believed a lot of conspiracy theories. It's made him realise how FB has given him (and others) a distorted picture of reality. He's now disconnected from Facebook and only keeping in contact via messages.




This movie hasn't been out long, you sure your friends won't be up to their old ways in a month or two?


I don't know, but they've got a hell of a lot more of a chance now that they're actually aware of the issues.
