It presents some good information, and asks questions that should be asked, but why not take the audience through some of the big spreadsheets of supposedly anonymized data? There are tons of potential whistleblowers out there; get them on the record. Really, the whole topic is itself a takedown of the new digital landscape of corporations. Why, then, does it feel like the movie doesn't take anyone other than Mark Zuckerberg down?

Just assume that everything you do, say, write, look at, attend, etc, etc, etc is logged and monitored by someone for less than positive reasons and you'll be fine. People really should understand that "services" like Facebook and G+ are really just data collection machines there to serve corporations who wish to sell us more crap. Oh, and government knows too much and has too much power to get up to no good.

A pretty broad compilation of information here, not deep, but broad enough that it tied a bunch of loose ends in common knowledge about the topic together nicely. Ironically enough, the NSA probably knows I watched this on Netflix and wrote about it here. I LOVE THE NSA AND OUR NEW GOOGLE OVERLORDS! I CANNOT STRESS THIS INFORMATION ENOUGH!

Nothing special, but slick production value helps.

Somewhat dry but extremely important to understand.
PS: The end has a real-life stunt that's just uncomfortable to watch. Other documentaries have these to manufacturer a climax when it's not a great quality. However, the douche chill I had during this ending felt necessary. Viewers should feel uncomfortable with what's happening given the movie's theme.

Quite one-sided, it would have been nice to see some more viewpoints, is there really no advantage to the government monitoring the digital world? If there really is not I'd have liked to see this backed up by evidence, statistics, etc. Even though I agree that privacy is important and agree with a lot of viewpoints in this documentary, the documentary lacks nuance and doesn't really bring anything new to the table, at least to me this wasn't very informative.

Any documentaries like this are important viewing because this really does affect everyone in this day and age. We're all guilty of simply agreeing. I knew a lot of this information anyway, but it's still a horror flick, essentially. It's really dry, and maybe a bit uncreative in how it presents its info, but it's still interesting and terrifying information to be presented with.
