The Social Dilemma’ documentary-drama explores the users and surfers of social media and most visited websites– most notably, FB, Twitter, Google, and Instagram. The film features information and insights by programmers and developers that used to work at these mega-platforms; moreover, some have supervised the development of techniques to attract the largest number of users before realizing that they were caught in these websites’ addiction trap. Having that hard-won experience, those tech experts sound the alarm on their own creations by raising awareness of fanatic users about the critical gravity of such websites.
Some parts of the film are to be screened at this session while Dr Essam Daoud talks to us about the addiction, detox, and the impact of social media platforms on mental health.
