At least one highly visible influence:
"Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor stated that seeing 12 Angry Men while she was in college influenced her decision to pursue a career in law."
I like Sorkin's work and even tend to agree with his points, he just gets a bit self-righteous and preachy in some of it.
Facebook was criticised for a few things; constantly changing the UI, selling personal data (although this was mostly opaque and treated as a rumour that wouldn’t harm _you_ really) and being a monopoly.
Now it’s criticised for aggressive targetted advertising, which may have had a hand in polarising people and even allowing some companies to highten fear and aggression to the point where it subverted democracy in some nations.
It’s also criticised for stifling free speech and siding with governments de jour in heavily censored countries like Iran.
I mean. I was an adult using Facebook before “the social network” movie came out; but maybe I misremember?
