In the world of #More, we need #Less. @LessMedia_Group is not just a media company. It's a concept, a philosophy. We use technologies to connect, not disconnect

Cut through the noise. Touch your audience. Create human connection. #LessMedia

The producers of The Social Dilemma brought some serious and valid concerns about the impact of social media platforms to a broad Netflix audience. BUT… 🧵

[@lessmedia_group @lessmedia_group]

Social Dilemma is not a dilemma. It's a reality we have to be aware of. Watch! This is why @lessmedia_group exists and why we want to do things differently.

The Social Dilemma is now streaming on Netflix! #TheSocialDilemma

Brilliant quote! Social media was in some ways “worse than cigarettes,” as Lanier put it at one point, “in that cigarettes don't degrade you. They kill you, but you're still you.” https://t.co/cOVosnLx7q

[Fabien Benetou @utopiah]

“I pay with my data.” repeated here and elsewhere is an interesting way to put it but it’s way too mild.

Surveillance capitalism doesn’t care for your data as much as selling the promise of your changed behaviour.

Facebook and Google are selling your future self, after a nudge.

”But maybe they're not politicians any longer. They have become instead pantomime villains whose real job is to make us angry. When we’re angry, we click more. And clicks feed the ever-growing power and wealth of the corporations that run social media” https://t.co/c8PMu6TgfJ

”You spend days on social media. Original vision - it was going to open up a new paradise where information shared freely. But now the algorithms know so much about you that they only give you what you like. You have become trapped in an echo chamber. All you see and hear is you”

The 2016 presentation states that “64% of all extremist group joins are due to our recommendation tools” and that most of the activity came from Facebook’s “Groups You Should Join” and “Discover” algorithms: “Our recommendation systems grow the problem” @WSJ #LessMedia

[@lessmedia_group @lessmedia_group]

“Our algorithms exploit the human brain’s attraction to divisiveness,” read a slide from a 2018 presentation. “If left unchecked,” Facebook would feed users “more and more divisive content in an effort to gain user attention & increase time on the platform” @WSJ #lessmedia

[@lessmedia_group @lessmedia_group]

An important piece from @WSJ. Another proof that platforms like Facebook are not in the business of connecting people, but disconnecting. It’s simple - dividing people is a better business: it brings more engagement and time spent on the platform https://t.co/efPng4DC2z
