    Disappointing
    I wish they had put as much effort into their research as they had into their production. Most of all this just felt like a propaganda piece.

    There were too many unsubstantiated slippery slope arguments, and demands for oversight, but they never bothered diving into the details. I am sure there are issues with algorithms, AI's, government surveillance etc. But they rarely if ever explained.
