The Social Network (2010)
Previsible enough, amid Facebook‘s renewed appearance in the global media, this weekend nothing better than watching this movie.
Directed by David Fincher, it tells the story of the creator of Facebook (Mark Zuckerberg, featured by Jesse Eisenberg), showing the beginning of the company and some of the lawsuits that followed its creation (Winklevoss twins, who claimed MZ stole their idea, and by the co-founder who was later squeezed out of the business)
While we will never know whether the movie is historically accurate, the movie nonetheless helps us remember that privacy and dataprotection matters (consequently, companies should be held accountable for data management) and giving an immense amount of power to unscrupulous companies is extremely dangerous.
‘The internet’s not written in pencil, it’s written in ink’ says Erica Albright (Rooney Mara) to MZ. Regardless of what we decide to do with this particular social network (and the others FB owns), we should always remember Cambridge-Analytica, and the many privacy scandals in which the company was involved in these nearly 20 years of life
