À l'ère des leurres: L'Internet du crime

Don't listen to the conservatives whining in these bad reviews. They get triggered by logic. The documentary provides a wide range of information that you can further research yourself. It's far less one sided than the right wingers are insinuating. If at the very least, these are stories by people who were deeply affected by horrifying circumstances.

Internet hoaxes and disinformation are not abstract ideas or victimless crimes. From the deaths of innocent people because a disaffected loser decided to "swat" a family (and the idiot police department overreacted) to to the election of Donald Trump after glutting social media with BS about Hillary Clinton, the series shows just how slowly human beings are responding to a virtual world where lies are as believable as the truth. It's scary stuff.

The scariest part is that we have no real way to control it. The internet has become our agent of everything from love to depression. The message of the series is that we ignore its influence at our own peril.

Good basic information about how technology is misused by criminals. I was not so keen at all about what appeared to me to be glorification of Rigmaiden's cleverness he used to mitigate his blatantly criminal behavior. Frankly, he disgusts me and his story didn't warrant two episodes.

There is an episode about nazis and alt-right and seems like it has triggered bunch of snowflakes to bring the rating down. Don't let it affect you. Solid show with good stories.

A few really good episodes and a few not so good. Editing was a bit disjointed, some topics brought up that weren't followed through. Decent production value though and overall an insightful look at the dark side of how the internet can be used.
