Wikipedia article
'The Creepy Line' is a 2018 American documentary exploring the influence Google and Facebook have on public opinion, and the power the companies have that is not regulated or controlled by national government legislation.
The title is taken from a quote by Eric Schmidt, who when describing Google's use of personal information stated that the company did not cross the line that an ordinary user would find unacceptable. It was released in October 2018.
Synopsis
The film contrasts the notion of fake news which is visible, with the invisible ranking or masking of information by Google and Facebook, and features headshot interviews with Robert Epstein, Jaron Lanier, Jordan Peterson and Peter Schweizer.
Reception
'The Verge' reviewed 'The Creepy Line', writing that "Despite its dark name, 'The Creepy Line' appeals to the comforting logic of conspiracy: when something goes wrong in life, its because an all-powerful entity thinks youre important enough to attack."
