When interacting on social media, we are doing so carefully and thoughtfully with a focus on using it to increase the public’s understanding of our increased reliance on technologies that have become exploitative and extractive. Screening the film on YouTube allows us to expand access to the film, reaching people where they are, inviting new voices into the discussion and, ultimately, bringing the conversation to where it may need to happen most – on social media itself.

This includes schools that block access, individuals that don’t have an account, and groups in need of a widely accessible platform for remote screenings. While our release on Netflix afforded us a global reach since the film launched one year ago, there are still barriers that may limit some groups from easily accessing the film. If society is going to wake up from the spell of persuasive technologies and build a movement that can demand humane alternatives, we need to reach critical mass.


Our team recognizes the value of making The Social Dilemma accessible to as many people as we can. Why is ‘The Social Dilemma’ releasing on YouTube?
