I barely remember The Social Network, the 2010 film that told the early story of Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook. Aaron Sorkin wrote that one—you may know him from A Few Good Men and The West Wing—and he returns as both writer and director for The Social Reckoning.
This time the focus shifts to the so-called Facebook Files. The movie looks at internal company research and the allegations that Facebook’s algorithms amplified negative, extreme, or misleading content in the pursuit of engagement. It moves from the company’s early days to a period when the platform’s influence on society had become much harder to ignore.
