Facebook Slams Netflix’s ‘The Social Dilemma’ as ‘Distorted’ and Sensationalist – Variety

Facebook has a bone to pick — actually, several bones — with “The Social Dilemma,” Netflix’s recently released documentary that sounds the alarm about the negative effects of the social media industry’s business practices. The social-media giant released a seven-point rebuttal Friday to the Netflix film, from director Jeff Orlowski, which debuted Sept. 9. “We should have conversations about the impact of social media on our lives. But ‘The Social Dilemma’ buries the substance in sensationalism,” Facebook said in the document posted Friday. “Rather than offer a nuanced look at technology, it gives a distorted view of how social media platforms work to create a convenient scapegoat for what are difficult and complex societal problems.” Netflix reps did not immediately pro...

Expert panel recommends who should be first in line for COVID-19 vaccine. Where will your family be? – USA TODAY

Who will get the coronavirus vaccine as soon as it becomes available is starting to come into focus. A report released Friday breaks the U.S. population into four groups and assigns each a place in line.  Not unexpectedly, people who risk their lives to care for those suffering from COVID-19 – the "jump start" group – will have first dibs, along with police, firefighters and paramedics.   The recommendations come from a federal panel working on a fair and just vaccine allocation plan since July. The first group, called Phase 1a, includes front-line health workers, ambulance drivers, hospital and clinic cleaners and first responders —  about 5% of the total U.S. population. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine was tasked with looking at the ethical questions associ...
