    OMG -- wasn't that movie THE WORST???? It really creeped me out. I thought it was going to be a cautionary tale... otherwise I would have bailed and not watched... but it was just straight-up propaganda for the Surveillance state!

    agreed. to be honest I stopped watching at least 3 times .. i'm 56, i saw this coming so many years ago ... I read Orwell's 84 when I was 14, changed my life ... as a matter of fact I'm listening to Robert Heinlein audiobook .. Like me he damn sure is anti statist ... been reading him since about 10. Thanks for the comment btw ..just got back on steemit. Good Luck ! /bow

      I was horrified but I kept thinking.... "she''s going to see the error of her ways... this is going to end well... this is all a big set up for her seeing how horrible she is becoming.... And I couldn't believe that even after her friend gets killed she is still a big fan of both the Surveillance State AND the LynchMob mentality that is being created by it... the only thing she cares about is that she''s the head of the lynchmob... Oh my word.. it made me quite ill. The first seriously challenging book I read was "Lord of the Flies" when I was in grade 2... I've always had a problem trusting crowds and mobs since then... The combination of total surveillance ALL the time and the e-lynchmobbing that is going on and is highlighted in that movie as a positive thing... just make me very afraid.

        Read George Orwell 1984 ... I'm 56, I read that when I was 14 ... opened my eyes and changed my life .... Been into computers since i was 18, been an electronics since 21. .... so this movie just showed me what all the "Kids" are into, well, the SHEEP anyway .. I have been talking about this since I was very young ... it is ALL REAL and very scary INDEED and sickening !!!

          HUGS well... you aren't alone. There are, I believe many people who feel like we do, but they are keeping their heads down, and not saying much... I can't live like that... but i know lots of people that have to for their job security and so on. :(
