Tucker Carlson’s show had a special on Friday about the dangers of Big Tech, something he has explored several times before, but never to this extent. (See my blog on his interviews with psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein, Big Tech Threatens to Secretly Undermine American Elections.) The capability of online tech to shape our opinions and behavior without our noticing the outside influence is quite disturbing.
In one segment of Friday’s show, Tucker interviewed Peter Schweizer, who has a new documentary coming out in September titled The Creepy Line (an odd title explained below). Here’s the trailer:
An eye-opening documentary, The Creepy Line reveals the stunning degree to which society is manipulated by Google and Facebook and blows the lid off the remarkably subtle – hence powerful – manner in which they do it.
The Creepy Line is a title taken from the words of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, when during a 2010 interview he explained Google’s code of conduct: “The Google policy on a lot of things is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it.”
However, as Dr. Robert Epstein explains in the film, “Google crosses the creepy line every day.” Containing interviews with Jordan B. Peterson, Peter Schweizer, and others, The Creepy Line offers an explosive look at the meddling and intervening done by Google and Facebook on their supposedly “neutral platforms.”
The Creepy Line takes the conversation about data privacy and control further than ever before by examining what Google and Facebook do once they control a user’s data. Offering first-hand accounts, scientific experiments and detailed analysis, The Creepy Line examines what is at risk when these two tech titans have free reign to utilize the public’s most private and personal data.
Here’s the Tucker Carlson Tonight segment discussing the film:
