Good on operations, but
3 October 2020
This gave a good picture about operations of the companies: How and why they became so dominant and how they capture our profiles--in general terms. Plus, how advertising is targeted to us. When it went to politics and current events/ issues it made some comments on manipulation., and I guess that could be either left wing or right wing. But it failed to acknowledge the overwhelming leftist bias of tech companies, I guess because the commentators would get in trouble--an ironic corollary of its points about manipulation dividing society and perhaps leading to dictatorship.

The trouble was, a lot of things were too repetitive and general. Instead, they should have provided more specific examples, more individual profiles of persons affected and how. Or even groups of people. Instead, it seemed to focus on how much people enjoy to use their devices.
