Movie hasn't aged well

Rating: 5/10 (6 April 2020)

This movie is pretty much about the first years of Facebook, when it was pretty much a cleaner version of Myspace and more open to free speech. While it was well-made, it was made much too early. Facebook a few years after this movie got made has pretty much gone down the dumps. Whether it's left-wing political bullying by friends, utterly uninformed right-wingers spreading misinformation, moderators punishing users with up to 30-day bans, it's a site with one foot in the grave. I really don't understand Facebook's rationale for who gets banned and who doesn't, I know some crazy people who never get banned while I get banned for speaking my mind about community issues.
The Zuckerberg in this movie would have been horrified at what is going on now. If he did this at the beginning, Facebook wouldn't have taken off. It would have gone down. Now they are a giant enterprise and can basically run anyone out of the business. There is no competition. No one will go use the competition. It's a sad state of affairs. I haven't used or participated in social media for years. It was nice while it lasted but I can see that people are tired of it and it's a fad that has passed.
I don't know how well Facebook is doing. I still get asked to friend people on the site but I keep telling them I don't use it anymore. Kids in high school still use it, although kids at some schools claim they don't. Some of these kids do nothing but post fights and violent stuff on there, but while I get banned for sharing what I observe everyday at work, no wacky, controversial opinions, they are free to do this with few repercussions.
The site is garbage. When it has to shut down, I will throw a party. If a sequel is made, it will have to detail how Zuckerberg let power get to his head and ruin a good thing.
