Zucked

Roger McNamee's "Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe" — an executable toolkit for understanding how social media platforms manipulate attention, exploit psychological vulnerabilities, undermine democracy, and what citizens, parents, and policy makers can do about it. Covers 5 use cases: ① Attention Economy Addiction — how platforms keep you hooked ("Why can't I stop scrolling? How does Facebook/Instagram/TikTok exploit my psychology?") ② Disinformation and Democracy — algorithmic amplification, Russian interference, Cambridge Analytica ("How did Russia use Facebook to tip the 2016 election? What is Cambridge Analytica?") ③ Privacy and Surveillance — how your data is harvested and weaponized ("Who has my data? How do I protect my privacy without quitting social media?") ④ Mental Health Crisis — the documented harms to teens and adults ("Is social media making me depressed? What did Facebook's own research find?") ⑤ Advocacy and Regulation — what must change and how to help ("Can Facebook be reformed? What regulation do we need? What can I do?") Trigger when users say: "Social media is addictive" "Facebook is destroying democracy" "Why can't I stop checking my phone" "Cambridge Analytica" "Russia interfered through Facebook" "Social media is bad for mental health" "My data is being sold" "Algorithmic amplification" "Facebook knew and did nothing" or mention: Roger McNamee / Zucked / Facebook / Mark Zuckerberg / Sheryl Sandberg / Cambridge Analytica / Russia / 2016 election / attention economy / surveillance capitalism / behavioral modification / filter bubble / polarization / disinformation / mental health / Instagram / teens / regulation / Facebook Papers Also triggers when the user says they just installed this skill or doesn't know how to start — the AI MUST proactively present the Quick Start guide below.
