The second episode is indeed not like the previous "Black Mirror". The so-called "unimaginative" was criticized because this episode is not about the future, but the present, which is extremely realistic. The era of "calling for the police uncle" is over, technology companies are gradually replacing the role of the government and establishing the rules of the new world, so:
1. In order to follow the footsteps of her daughter's deceased, the mother has to try the password 3 times every 24 hours under the rules;
2. The COO's user portraits pieced together on the Internet are faster and more accurate than the police's investigation, and the police also rely on the company's technology to eavesdrop;
3. The CEO can turn on the God mode to find any personal information by typing the code, and he will not care if he hangs up the FBI phone at will;
4. The police are also taboo against the pressure of public opinion caused by social media on law enforcement, and so on.
Even in the current reality, every small step of the tech giants is reconstructing the social and economic form, and even politics, such as the social media and content platforms that we highly depend on, are the products of the tech giants.
OK, let’s continue the deduction, and technology companies will replace the role of the Lingjia government in setting rules, but! ! The company's goal is to pursue profit rather than public welfare! When a technology company evolves into a behemoth, even the government and even the CEO of the company cannot control the "evil" that the company may do.
For stickiness, specialize in the study of people's addiction mechanism, and keep people in low-level and fast entertainment needs;
In order to retain, research algorithms, control people's information cocoon room, and only see what they think they "want to see";
For the sake of traffic, make the history of people's behaviors clear, understand you better than you, and put advertisements for you if you can't prevent it;
For the sake of politics, you can manipulate public opinion and even control what you like and support.
Even if the CEO finds out in his conscience and quits, there will still be the next CEO and the next technology giant, who will repeatedly control the rules of society. No one can stop this giant ship, and who can guarantee that these technologies will not do evil?
In the end, technology has turned some people into "gods", but what about other "people"? What should I do?
