I didn’t even know there was a followup movie in the works. I can understand why a sequel could be good given all that’s happened since, but I can’t understand doing so without most of the important people behind the first one. Sorkin’s a good writer, but I don’t think he was 100% responsible for what made the first one a good movie.

“Now watch as we enshittify our platform while buying out all the competition, manipulate national electoral outcomes with algorithmic profiling, and cover up our own internal studies on harmfulness in order to continue exploiting minors for profit!”

Yeah, but what’s odd is that now there’s basically a court document that reveals that’s exactly what Meta was doing, they knew it’s what they were doing, and they decided to continue doing it anyway because it was their intention to do so all along.
And yet they got slapped on the wrist and given a nominal fine…
