Abstract
A recent Netflix documentary titled The Social Dilemma interviews several engineers who had helped build social media platforms, but who are now sounding the alarm on their creations. The film features prominent designers from Google, Facebook, and Twitter, including the engineer who created the pervasive “like” button and the inventor of the “infinite scroll.” The impact of the documentary comes from hearing the very people who created the technology behind social networks expressing regret and repenting of what they helped to build.
