Looks like Nir Eyal (Author of Hooked) was interviewed for 3 hours of this documentary. But, none of his clips made it to the final version.

I kind of agree with his point

>The filmmakers attempt to manipulate people into fearing technology that the filmmakers say is manipulating them.

I mean there are real problems with fake news stories getting promoted for example. On the other hand I'm quite happy to have a facebook account which I glance at occasionally to see what friends are up to. Or an HN account which is fun if a bit of a time sink.
