The Social Dilemma with Yasha Levine

In this week’s Filmsuck we interview Yasha Levine, author of Surveillance Valley, about the Netflix documentary Social Dilemma. It's supposed be to a scathing critique of Silicon Valley's manipulative social media business practices...yet why the hell does this crap film refuse to chart the actual history of the internet and the way its operations are entirely consistent with the ordinary workings of capitalism?

Here are the links to the great docs on the Internet/silicon valley ideology we mentioned:
