Do you think watching The Social Dilemma with family or friends could help spark a conversation about how they are being manipulated by "Big Tech"? I plan on doing this with someone who has been greatly affected by the algorithms, and although I do not expect an immediate change, I do expect it to spark some new thoughts and questions.

Another comment here mentioned this site as a good starting point for taking tangible action against being influenced by algorithms: https://www.humanetech.com/take-control

I think its a great way to start the conversation as most will likely see behavior in there that they can identify with or see in their immediate family. The information is also presented in a way where everyone should be able to understand whats at stake.
