A simple vista Facebook no es mas que una forma de contactar con tus familiares y amigos, pero lo que hace a Facebook tan excepcional es la capacidad que tiene para apelar a emociones humanas como el narcisismo, el reconocimiento social o sentirse aceptado y querido.

00:00Facebook. It doesn't look like anything from the other world, does it?
00:04Just a tall building.
00:06But don't be fooled.
00:08Facebook is everywhere.
00:11My name is Barack Obama, and I am the person who has forced Mark to wear a jacket and tie.
00:17In just over six years, he has gone from the university campuses to the White House, and everything in between.
00:23They have accumulated a dementia database with information about us.
00:27Mark Zuckerberg's goal is to reach ubiquity. He wants us all to use his service.
00:33But I don't. I have rejected Facebook from the beginning.
00:36When my son asked me,
00:38Why don't you let me be on Facebook? And why don't you have it?
00:41I started to think about why I'm not on Facebook.
00:44It's just a website, a way to contact friends and family through the Internet, right?
00:48So why does it generate such intense reactions in people?
00:51In life, there is only what we share with the world through Facebook.
00:55It's almost like life has stopped making sense if we don't amplify it and stage it on social media.
01:02Facebook has exploded.
01:04It's more than just a social network. It's more than just a simple website.
01:07Facebook is a way of life.
01:10And although it has over a billion users,
01:14it's not my way of life.
01:17I am one of those people who hate Facebook, viscerally.
01:21But I'm starting to realize that my children are growing up in a world marked by Facebook.
01:25And the most terrifying thing is that I don't even know what that means.
01:28And my son kept asking me more questions.
01:31Why don't you let me have it? You'd better have a good reason.
01:34Right now you're too young to have Facebook.
01:36What? It's not fair. I have a friend who has Facebook.
01:39But he's about to turn 13, which is the legal age to be on Facebook.
01:43So I have no choice. I have to think about why I'm not on Facebook.
01:48But I'm not alone in my hatred of Facebook.
01:51I hate Facebook. Five reasons why I hate Facebook.
01:54Do you know what I hate the most about Facebook?
01:57Fuck you, Facebook.
01:59No one will ever convince me that Facebook is not a fucking invention.
02:04There's even a Facebook page for people who hate Facebook.
02:08But I'm part of the group that hates and rejects Facebook without even giving it a chance.
02:13And I don't care, because I love trying new things.
02:16I worked under the rain for two days to get my first iPhone.
02:19And I even went to live with my family in Los Angeles to work in an industry that has enthusiastically adopted Facebook.
02:24I'm a very social person and I have all kinds of friends.
02:28Not just Facebook friends.
02:30Should I deny this prejudice to my son?
02:33I have to find out before he turns 13.
02:36Is there something wrong with Facebook?
02:38Or am I the one who has a problem?
02:40So I've gathered a group of young Facebook fans to help me investigate and document the process.
02:45We're not just a group of people making a documentary.
02:48The documentary is about you.
02:55Let's see who gets it.
02:57We need Zuckerberg. That's the idea.
03:00I need to find out what he was thinking when he came up with this masterpiece of disaster.
03:06If anyone can teach me how to use it, that's him.
03:09The customer service is busy.
03:15Maybe it's him.
03:18Hi, this is Darius from Facebook.
03:20I can't talk to you right now, but leave me a message and I'll call you as soon as possible. Thank you.
03:27What are you doing? Leave a message.
03:29He's got a good job, really. He's Director of Entertainment Strategies and Global Creative Solutions.
03:34Director of Entertainment Strategies and Global Creative Solutions.
03:39That gives me a good idea.
03:43I'm sorry. David Vialet is unavailable. Leave a message after the tone.
03:48We're trying all the numbers with this extension.
03:518,400.
03:52Why 8,400?
03:54Because he was born in 1984. It's his year of birth.
04:05This is Mark from Facebook. I can't talk to you right now, but leave me a message and I'll call you as soon as possible.
04:12Hello, Mark from Facebook.
04:14I don't know if you're that Mark, but I'm doing a documentary on Facebook,
04:18and I'd love to interview any Mark from Facebook.
04:21So I'd love to interview you if you had some time.
04:24My number is 310...
04:26How funny.
04:27It wasn't him, was it?
04:28It sounded like his voice. It could have been him.
04:30I know people who work there, and he has an important position.
04:33And there's no other Mark. He's the only one.
04:36Dude, give me that number now.
04:39Although I couldn't talk to Mark from Facebook, I did contact the creator of Facebook and his twin brother.
04:45You know, the twins from the movie about Facebook.
04:48Were you surprised that it became so big so fast?
04:52If the idea made sense, and the people at Harvard University liked it,
04:56then the kids from the other universities had to like it as well.
05:00Mark Zuckerberg shot the idea down.
05:02He didn't think about creating a social network.
05:05Until you guys...
05:06Yes, well, it's clear that he didn't, if you look at the timeline of the events.
05:10What he did was sabotage us to get Facebook out first,
05:13which was an idea of ours, and not the website we had then, Harvard Connection.
05:18The concept of contacting people, thanks to Facebook, my life has changed for the better.
05:25Wow.
05:27And that's also...
05:28Wait a minute.
05:29Were you surprised there?
05:31Do you use Facebook?
05:32Absolutely.
05:34And you use Facebook?
05:35Yes.
05:37Do you both have Facebook?
05:38Yes.
05:39We're Facebook users, yes.
05:41We've always been defenders of what it represented.
05:44Social networks are not what has harmed us.
05:47So, in a nutshell, you like Facebook?
05:49Yes.
05:50Yes.
05:51It was a unique and very fun experience to participate in the page.
05:55I can imagine.
05:56Of course, it's still ironic, because if there's someone who can swear to Facebook...
06:02Yeah.
06:03...and refuse to make an account, that's you.
06:06But they had Facebook, and they didn't have a problem giving a good image of the social network.
06:10Although not everyone knows how to give a good image on Facebook,
06:13a bad Facebook page starts with a bad profile picture.
06:18While you're wondering what motivates people to upload these kinds of pictures to Facebook,
06:23I'm wondering...
06:24What do these people say on Facebook?
06:28Okay, so, if you're looking for Facebook status, you can type anything,
06:32and this engine searches for any word that people are using on Facebook.
06:35For example, all the people who are posting things about Maria.
06:38Wow, I got caught last night.
06:40That kind of thing.
06:41It's delusional, because they're real people posts.
06:43I've looked for Maria, and look what appears.
06:45Look at what this girl says.
06:46Last night's party was awesome, I wish we had recorded it.
06:49I danced until I burst.
06:50There was a girl in balls, I went blind.
06:52Avirra, yes, Maria.
06:53Which is the word I looked for.
06:54I'd marry him without thinking twice, and if I could, I'd rape him.
06:58She just posted this.
07:00Tell me what you think this girl is like.
07:02Someone who says what she thinks.
07:03She seems a bit of a whore.
07:05Here, for example, she's tagged in a picture and says,
07:07Fuck feelings, be a whore.
07:09Here's a picture of her.
07:10She's doing something awful to the world.
07:13I want to find out what she thinks,
07:15what her Facebook profile says about her.
07:18Find her and send her a message.
07:20Tell her we want to talk to her on Skype or something like that.
07:27Can you see me?
07:29No, I see a picture of you looking very pretty, but I can't see you.
07:32Okay, so let's start with your name.
07:35My name is Samerly.
07:37If you were someone who doesn't know you at all,
07:39and you saw your own Facebook page,
07:41how would someone describe you?
07:43They would look like...
07:46A lot of fun, bright, funny, funny baby.
07:52Maybe extroverted, creative.
07:55Samer, do you think your Facebook page is a good reflection of your personality?
07:59When you look at my Facebook page,
08:01you're looking at my day-to-day life,
08:03you're looking at how I really am, so...
08:05You may have underestimated Samer.
08:07What I didn't know was that some of her posts
08:09were nothing more than lyrics to songs.
08:22But that's the least of it.
08:23Why did she post that lyric on her page?
08:25And what you post on your Facebook page
08:27can have consequences in the real world.
08:30Yes, I hope the students at the institute
08:32take into account the kind of information
08:34they're willing to share with the rest of the world.
08:39Facebook.com
08:41Facebook.com
08:43Facebook.com
08:45Facebook.com
08:47Facebook.com
08:49Facebook.com
08:51Facebook.com
08:53Facebook.com
08:55Facebook.com
08:57It's what Facebook has.
08:58You can become whoever you want.
09:01Let's take, for example, the movie Catfish.
09:03Hi, Megan.
09:04Hi, how are you?
09:05Your voice is not what I expected.
09:07It's a documentary about a guy
09:09who was fooled by a fake Facebook profile.
09:11Sounds fun.
09:14If I created a new version of myself,
09:16who would I be?
09:17Well, someone much cooler than I am now.
09:19We're going to turn you into an incredible guy.
09:21Come on, let's go.
09:34What we can do is take this image
09:36of a Formula 1 driver
09:38who's in a similar position to yours in this picture
09:40and we put you in his place.
09:43So we...
09:44I think that's very convincing.
09:46Let's put you right in there.
09:47Here we go.
09:55Wow.
09:56We're going to put you jumping from a cliff
09:58and you're going to be around the most interesting man in the world.
10:01If I wanted to, I could be in the Playboy mansion.
10:03Of course.
10:04This is great.
10:05A little bit of Alavelta
10:06and here you are in Mount Everest.
10:08I'm in all the sarahs.
10:09Okay.
10:10So we're already in the air.
10:12We're in the air.
10:13Steve Steele.
10:14Steve Steele exists.
10:15Confirmed.
10:16Steve Steele seems very cosmopolitan and fascinating.
10:19Yes, we were talking at...
10:20At the Coliseum.
10:21At a party on the beach in Miami.
10:22Nipton says this.
10:23Dude, what happened to the party last night?
10:25What a crazy night.
10:26Those girls we met were so hot.
10:29And thank you for getting us the girl.
10:31You're the man.
10:32That's life.
10:33What do we do now with Steve Steele?
10:35We send friend requests.
10:37Okay.
10:38And we update his profile so he looks like the cool guy he is.
10:41It seems like he's doing pretty well.
10:43How many friends does Steve Steele already have?
10:45Only 31.
10:46Hey, he's only been alive for two days.
10:4831 friends, he's not that bad.
10:50In my life, friends are people I've met for real.
10:53Real people.
10:54On Facebook, you don't even need to be a real person to make friends.
10:58Confirm friendship.
10:59Confirm.
11:00Confirm.
11:01Confirm.
11:02Confirm.
11:03I just made like nine friends in a few seconds.
11:05This is the best.
11:06So, let's go, friends.
11:08Find friends.
11:09Look at this.
11:10Now my friend.
11:11Now I can know everything about her.
11:13So, I just found out that my brother is probably going to jail.
11:17Hey, look at his phone number.
11:21Hello?
11:22My name is Steve Steele.
11:23You just accepted my friend request on Facebook about five minutes ago.
11:27Okay.
11:28Is it weird to put your phone number on your Facebook page?
11:31Any stranger could call you.
11:35Well, it's super weird.
11:37I didn't know I was there.
11:39It also says which school you go to, where you live, all those things.
11:42Your email, your birthday date.
11:44How old are you?
11:4517?
11:47Uh-huh.
11:48It's kind of scary.
11:49You have a brother who's about to go to jail.
11:52Did you just post that?
11:55Okay.
11:56I'm going to hang up.
12:00Are you going to...
12:01Okay, bye.
12:02Hey, wait.
12:03Do you think it's okay if I use this conversation in my movie?
12:07Well, no.
12:10No?
12:11You don't want me to use your voice in my movie?
12:13No.
12:14This is giving me a bad feeling.
12:16Well, it's giving you a bad feeling.
12:17I told you this was going to give you a bad feeling.
12:19You should shoot this scene again, but with Gavardine and a mustache.
12:22Oh, my God.
12:23Julie Cunningham just accepted my friendship request.
12:25Confirm friendship, confirm, confirm.
12:27This is great.
12:28Hey, is this Kyla?
12:29What's up, Joseph?
12:30My name is Steve.
12:31I'm Kate.
12:32I'm Steve.
12:33I'm calling from Los Angeles, California.
12:34Now all of these are my friends.
12:35You accepted my friendship request a minute ago.
12:37How do you know I'm not a stalker?
12:39I just sent you a friendship request from a fake profile.
12:42I'm actually a stalker.
12:44Now we're Facebook friends, but we don't know each other at all.
12:47And you don't know who I am, but I know who you are.
12:51And I'm standing in front of your house.
12:58Hello?
13:08So Steve made friends with a guy named Stouty Stout last night.
13:10Turns out he lives in Los Angeles and has posted his address and phone number.
13:14So I said, I've got a new friend.
13:16Let's see if I can pay him a visit and ask him how he's doing.
13:2035.
13:21Oh my God.
13:2216.
13:2435.
13:26Here it is.
13:28It's right here.
13:30And I think that's him.
13:31I recognize him.
13:32Hello?
13:34Hello.
13:35May I?
13:38Hi.
13:39You're not Stouty Stout, are you?
13:41Yes.
13:42From Facebook?
13:43Yes.
13:44My name's Steve.
13:45Steve Steel.
13:46We're Facebook friends.
13:47Hi.
13:48I saw your phone number and your address.
13:49I stopped by to say hi because you seem like a nice guy.
13:51And since I've got a few hours off...
13:54Okay.
13:55I thought I'd pay you a visit.
13:56Yes, of course.
13:57Are you okay?
13:58Yes, I'm building some stuff.
13:59Can you show me what you're building?
14:01Okay.
14:02Well, this is one of those things.
14:03To hang small guns.
14:05Really?
14:06Yes.
14:07You show up at someone's house unannounced and it turns out you're making a furniture for guns.
14:12I'm doing a documentary about Facebook.
14:14Don't you think it's weird that we've never met, that you have no idea who I am,
14:18but I can still go on Facebook and in a few hours know everything about your life,
14:22where you've been, what you're doing, who your family and friends are,
14:25where you live, what you do, what you like?
14:28Well, yeah.
14:29Doesn't that make you think that it might not be such a good idea to post things on Facebook?
14:33I don't have any issues with those things.
14:35If you go through all the pictures I've posted, you'll see there's even urine samples.
14:39Yeah, I've seen them.
14:40I'm not having any issues with that.
14:41I see.
14:42Does that really show how well Facebook works?
14:44Do you know what to expect?
14:46It's almost like we're friends now.
14:47Yeah, it all fits.
14:48Yeah.
14:49But don't think you can come and steal my tools.
14:51I've got a few hours to kill, let's have a good time.
15:09Do you have any beer left, Stout?
15:13Thanks, Stouty Stout.
15:15Nice to meet you, man. I'll text you on Facebook.
15:18He's exactly like his Facebook profile.
15:20He's lovely.
15:21Now we're friends in real life because we met on Facebook.
15:24I don't see anything wrong with that.
15:27Stouty Stout.
15:30Steve Steele has even become friends with a celebrity, like Roseanne Barr.
15:34And she hates everyone.
15:36Facebook is nothing more than a bunch of narcissists.
15:39I'm the first.
15:40I've got an account too.
15:41But I'm not interested in other people's lives.
15:43It's boring.
15:44No one is as interesting as me.
15:46If people try to collect as many friends as possible on Facebook,
15:50it's because they're narcissists and they don't have friends in real life.
15:54So what do you think I should do, Roseanne?
15:56Should I open an account on Facebook?
15:57No.
15:58Actually, interacting with other people helps you develop your social aptitudes
16:02instead of atrophying them even more.
16:04Because it looks like yours already are.
16:06With all of you, the incomparable Kathy Griffin.
16:12I wondered if this would work without Facebook.
16:19I just saw her pass by.
16:21It's her.
16:22There she goes.
16:23There she goes.
16:24There she goes.
16:28I think it's her.
16:29I think I saw her.
16:30I think it was her.
16:31This could be my big opportunity.
16:33Are you here to pick her up by chance?
16:37No?
16:38Sucks.
16:39At least on Facebook you know exactly where the person is
16:42and you can show them your sign.
16:46Thanks to Facebook, Steve Steele has become friends with nine Kathy Griffins.
16:50Now they can all read Steve's most intimate thoughts.
16:53I wonder if that would work without Facebook.
16:56Can you see the camera?
16:57No.
16:58A table for two.
16:59It's hard because these guys are my friends.
17:02I know some of them.
17:03I guess if we were on Facebook, I'd tag them.
17:06Oh, God.
17:09Brance X.
17:10Cubami.
17:11Studio City.
17:12I hate traffic in Los Angeles.
17:14What do you get for a birthday party for an eight-year-old?
17:17Rice and spicy tuna.
17:18I could eat this all day.
17:19Nobody's going to like the spicy tuna.
17:21You don't like the spicy tuna?
17:23What a video.
17:24I'm going to have to go to the bathroom.
17:26I'm going to have to go to the bathroom.
17:28What a cute video.
17:29This is not as acceptable as it would be on Facebook.
17:32I don't think my friends want to be my friends and I'm still like this.
17:35This is much easier on Facebook.
17:38But on Facebook, you do more than make friends.
17:41It's very likely that all the girlfriends of my children and all the boyfriends of my daughter
17:44start being friends on Facebook.
17:47Is there a boy you like?
17:50No.
17:51Yes.
17:52No.
17:53What's his name?
17:54No.
17:55There's no proof.
17:56Troy.
17:57Troy.
17:58Shut up, Brayden.
18:00My wife and I started going to school.
18:02We didn't have a cell phone, we didn't have text messages, we didn't have email,
18:06but we had a phone.
18:08And we wrote letters, real letters, handwritten.
18:11I don't know if you know.
18:12I'm sure you haven't noticed, but I like you a little bit.
18:15I know you didn't see it coming.
18:17You have a great personality and you're pretty.
18:20Come on, you have it all.
18:21It's so weird.
18:22I'd do anything for you.
18:24It's just a brief synopsis of the first page.
18:27And there's one, two, three, four pages with more than the same thing.
18:33So I had to find someone to explain to me how Facebook dates work.
18:37Meet Matt.
18:38He's single and he only talks on Facebook.
18:41What's your method?
18:43I just ask for friendship on Facebook when I meet them.
18:45I ask their name, I add them and I go see them.
18:47When I get them to accept me, I know I have a chance.
18:50Matt teaches me his method.
18:52You don't do that anymore, asking people for their phone numbers?
18:54No.
18:55Phones are outdated.
18:56You have to go straight to Facebook.
18:57What you do is start a normal conversation.
18:59You go to a bar and I bet you in less than five minutes
19:02you're able to get a girl's Facebook data.
19:05Thank you very much.
19:06How are you doing tonight?
19:07Good.
19:08Yeah? Have they put you in charge of the bar or what?
19:10Yeah, for me this is a lot of people.
19:12Yeah, yeah, you seem busy.
19:14Hey, you're not on Facebook by any chance?
19:17Well, yeah.
19:18Oh, yeah?
19:19Well, why don't you give me your email and I'll add you to Facebook?
19:23What do you say?
19:24No, I'll write it for you.
19:25Okay, perfect, thanks.
19:26What's your name?
19:27Alex.
19:28Alex, I'm Matt.
19:29Nice to meet you, Alex.
19:31How are you doing?
19:32Good, and you?
19:33Not bad, not bad.
19:34What are you up to tonight?
19:35Nothing, just a girl's night.
19:37A girl's night?
19:38Monday is informal, so I've come to the right table.
19:40Yeah.
19:43Listen, Matt, we were actually leaving.
19:45But why don't you give me your email or I'll give you mine
19:48and we'll talk on Facebook and see how it goes.
19:49You're on Facebook?
19:50Yeah, and you?
19:51You're on Facebook?
19:52Yeah.
19:53I guess like most people, right?
19:54Okay, well, I'm going to put it on my phone.
19:56Yeah, sure.
19:57Will you give me your email?
19:58Nice to meet you, girls.
19:59Take care.
20:00You too.
20:03She met you yesterday and she added you as a friend.
20:05What's the first thing she's going to see about you?
20:07The first thing she's going to see is my profile picture.
20:09Clearly, this guy is doing things right.
20:12He goes out with girls like these and stuff,
20:14so it's pretty damn clear that he's no shit.
20:16Let's take a look at his pictures and see what he's like in real life.
20:20Not bad, not bad.
20:23This picture's good.
20:25Pictures can be deceiving.
20:26The girl's got a big ass, but that can get to her too.
20:32She's got great tits.
20:33She's got great tits, to be honest.
20:34Yeah, yeah, she's not bad.
20:36She says almost six and a half, I'm sure.
20:38I'll send her a message.
20:43I never said I was an intellectual or anything,
20:45but I've got a great physique.
20:50I don't like to ask them to go out with me,
20:52I'd rather let him fall.
20:54Hey, hon.
20:56Great to meet you.
20:58You look great in the picture.
21:02Do you like to fuck?
21:06When you send a message like that, what kind of response do you expect?
21:10For example, Jacky, no.
21:11That would be a good response.
21:12My God, is this what my daughter expects?
21:20I could tell my daughter that making friends on Facebook is a bad idea.
21:24But this summer, a cousin of mine got married and attended the wedding.
21:29And how did he meet his partner?
21:31How did his romance begin?
21:33On Facebook.
21:35Some strangers who meet on Facebook.
21:38We are officially a Facebook couple.
21:40Yes, in fact, when we got engaged, we sent it live on Facebook.
21:45So Claire has printed all the messages that we wrote on Facebook,
21:52cut them out and made an album.
21:55I'm turning into...
21:56A whore.
21:57A whore.
21:59It's a Facebook miracle.
22:01We're on Facebook all day.
22:03The truth is that...
22:04Throughout our relationship...
22:05I hadn't thought about it until now.
22:07Now that I think about it...
22:08It's not as sinister as it seems, is it?
22:10I hope not.
22:12And it's something that happens all the time.
22:15This couple met because they're both called Kelly Hildebrand.
22:19Literally, there are thousands of couples who get married every year thanks to Facebook.
22:24You can kiss the bride, but first you have to update your Facebook profiles.
22:29But to keep using Facebook once you're married is to tempt fate.
22:33Just look at the statistics of broken marriages because of Facebook.
22:36And I've known cases of people who really went through this.
22:39Hi, Angelica?
22:40Yes.
22:41Hi, I'm Brand.
22:42Nice to meet you.
22:43Likewise.
22:44We were married for about two and a half years.
22:46He was deployed, he was mobilized in Iraq, and he sent me a friend request.
22:50So I added him.
22:51We went out for a month or so, until I got pregnant.
22:55Then I found pictures of girls sending him letters.
22:58I'm sure Facebook had a lot to do with our divorce.
23:02Facebook took it from me, so I created a fake profile.
23:05You created a fake Facebook profile?
23:08And you sent him a friend request?
23:09Yes, I sent him a friend request.
23:11And he accepted it?
23:12Yes, he accepted it.
23:13And I started sending him very direct messages, like,
23:16How are you?
23:17And he, on his Facebook profile, he was saying things like,
23:20I'm married.
23:21And I answered him, I don't care, I just want to sleep with you.
23:24Very straightforward.
23:25And then he said to me,
23:26All right, but don't tell anyone.
23:29Wait, wait, and what was your reaction?
23:31I wrote him back and said,
23:32Hey, I'm Angelica.
23:35Fuck you.
23:36We said goodbye exactly 30 minutes ago, or an hour ago.
23:40You told me everything was going to work out between us, and so on.
23:43And as soon as I turn around, you're on Facebook,
23:45trying to sleep with an aunt you've never seen in your life.
23:49And what was his reaction when you threw these accusations at him?
23:52He asked for a divorce.
23:54He told all our friends, but telling them
23:56that I was the one who had been cheating on him.
23:59He turned the situation around to humiliate me,
24:01as if to show me the harm I could do to myself.
24:04I don't care what he does to me, you know?
24:07But when my son is older,
24:10and he sees that we're not together,
24:13I'm sure he's going to wonder why.
24:18What am I supposed to tell him after all this?
24:21I have no idea.
24:27Oh, man.
24:29He blames Facebook for the deterioration of his marriage.
24:32At first, I totally agreed with him, but now I'm like,
24:34my God, at least he was able to unmask that guy thanks to Facebook.
24:38Because if he hadn't caught him red-handed,
24:40he would have had to keep swallowing it.
24:43The blame for his marriage being a failure
24:46is not on Facebook,
24:48but on the asshole he married.
24:51Don't you think?
24:53My wife doesn't have Facebook either,
24:55so I don't know what effect it could have on our relationship.
24:59Who are you talking about?
25:01The girls you went out with as a teenager before we got married?
25:05What would happen if they wanted to be your friends on Facebook?
25:08Yeah.
25:09Well, I'd say no, I don't want them to be his friends.
25:12So I should ignore his friend request?
25:15No, you're sending them to hell on my behalf.
25:18And what would happen, for example, in a divorce case,
25:21if the lawyers wanted to check the Facebook stories of their clients?
25:26That's a great question.
25:28As soon as you open up on Facebook,
25:30as soon as you uncover your life,
25:31can you keep something private?
25:33These journalistic findings are the last challenge
25:35of the executive president of Facebook and his team,
25:37who have already received criticism in the past
25:39for changing their privacy policy.
25:42A lot of social media fans are fed up with Facebook.
25:45Facebook develops tools to collect data
25:47about the centers of interest of its users.
25:50They have hidden motives to invade our private lives
25:52and use that information to get benefits.
25:55We never sell the user's information.
25:58Advertisers who use the page
25:59have no access to the user's information.
26:02Facebook, in particular,
26:04is the most terrifying spy machine ever built.
26:09When people can control what they share,
26:11they feel comfortable and share more things.
26:13The more things people share,
26:14the more open and interconnected people are in the world,
26:16and so many of the big problems we face
26:19can be solved more easily.
26:21Mark Zuckerberg is part of a generation
26:23that is not afraid of the Big Brother.
26:25He is not afraid that the government may be spying on him.
26:28What this generation wants
26:30is for others to spy on it.
26:32Privacy has died.
26:35And if you think it's Facebook's fault,
26:37it's because you have a very wrong notion
26:39of how private your life is.
26:42This is Matt.
26:43He is twenty-something years old,
26:44he knows about computers,
26:45and last week I challenged him to find on the Internet
26:47all the personal information he could about me,
26:49even though I'm not on Facebook.
26:53Okay, so this is what I found out.
26:55The names of your family members.
26:57My wife, my son, my daughter, and my other son.
27:00Cool.
27:01And more relatives.
27:02Who's this? Your brother?
27:03Yeah, that's my brother, Sam.
27:04That's my mom, and that's my dad.
27:06Cool.
27:07Okay, so...
27:08Okay, you've found my family.
27:09All your family.
27:10And these are the phone numbers
27:11that I've found related to you.
27:13This is my cell phone.
27:14And this is my old house.
27:15I don't know if it's where you live or where you lived.
27:17On the street...
27:21Yeah, this is my address.
27:22Yeah, it's ours.
27:23My wife bought it.
27:24Yeah.
27:25These are my Amazon purchases.
27:28Uh-huh.
27:29And this is...
27:30This is the school my kids go to.
27:32I found your driver's license number.
27:34D441.
27:39That is my driver's license number.
27:41And all my tax data.
27:43I think this is your son's email.
27:44That's easy to find.
27:46Your work history and all that stuff.
27:48A series of family recordings.
27:50It's all on YouTube.
27:51This is my birthday date.
27:52My social security number.
27:54My father's curriculum.
27:55My mother's email.
27:56My work history.
27:57This is terrifying.
27:58Yeah.
27:59What else have you found?
28:00Nothing else.
28:02And all this without having posted a single word on Facebook.
28:05Does it change anything that people can find out about what you do every day?
28:08Or that they can see pictures of your holidays?
28:12There are more reasons to think twice
28:14before writing anything on Facebook.
28:16The Nashua police discovered that a gang of thieves
28:18had been using the social network
28:20to rob 18 homes in August.
28:24This is Mr. X.
28:25Mr. X is a home robber.
28:27Now he uses Facebook to pick out his victims.
28:31Yeah, to me, what people post on Facebook is like their digital garbage.
28:35I can dig into it at will, dissect it,
28:38and deduce almost everything I need to know.
28:40Here we have a perfect example.
28:42These people move to the UNOM.
28:43They're announcing that they're not going to be in their apartment.
28:46And now how would you find out more information about them?
28:48You can go into their biography.
28:50It tells you what school they went to, where and when they were born,
28:52where they live, where they work, their phone number.
28:55On their wall, there are conversations with other people
28:57about what they're doing, who they're with,
28:59where they're going, and when they're leaving.
29:01Yeah, it's pretty clear that they're in California.
29:03They have a convertible, they have fat friends.
29:06They think they're taking pictures of themselves.
29:08But what they tell you are all the other things that appear in the picture.
29:11That's where I get the information from.
29:13And how do you become friends with them?
29:15As soon as you open a fake profile,
29:17it's enough for one of them to bring it to you,
29:19so that the others can bring it to you.
29:21All their profiles are interconnected,
29:23so you can get information from the whole group.
29:26I'm sure this guy isn't at home,
29:28because he's uploading pictures from his cell phone.
29:30And they're geo-located.
29:32It's giving you the date and the place where they are.
29:35And to know if it's worth going to their house,
29:37I have to see what kind of things they have.
29:39If they have a watch, if their wife has expensive jewelry,
29:42and if they're not going to take all their holiday jewelry.
29:45I can go into Google Maps and enter their address.
29:48I can go to Google Street View to see what their house looks like.
29:53It's safer for them and for me,
29:55because it's basically a guarantee that we're not going to run into each other.
29:58This seems like a good goal.
30:00How do you know that the house doesn't have an alarm?
30:02You just need the right tools.
30:04Alarms can be neutralized.
30:06What tool can you use to ring an alarm?
30:08I can't tell you what tools.
30:11During the day, people are less suspicious.
30:13Especially if you're in a good neighborhood,
30:15and you drive a good car, and you're well dressed.
30:18Twenty-one.
30:21It doesn't seem like there's anyone home.
30:26And if you weren't here, I'd sweep this house today.
30:30But criminals aren't the only ones who use Facebook.
30:33Now the police also use Facebook to catch them.
30:36Facebook can give information about an account by court order.
30:39But most of the time it's not necessary,
30:42because it's the criminals themselves who share their crimes on Facebook.
30:45Have they become more stupid because of Facebook?
30:48Or were they before, but now they're on Facebook?
30:50And once the networks have heard about it,
30:52your stupidity stays on the Internet forever.
30:54Here we see that he's put American tape on his wrists, ankles, and mouth,
30:57but the scariest thing is his father's foot.
30:59This happens when my daughter gives me a blow back.
31:02The image shows several young men in the desert.
31:04They're armed, and they're holding a T-shirt
31:06with an image of President Obama,
31:08and it appears that he's been hit with a bullet.
31:11As a father of three children, this scares me.
31:14How do I keep his mistakes out of Facebook?
31:17How do I keep his stupidity out of Facebook?
31:22My six-year-old son is an IT expert.
31:25His world revolves around computers,
31:28and my older son already sends text messages and chats with his friends.
31:31My son is going to have to get rid of Facebook soon,
31:34and there's nothing I can do to stop him.
31:37How do parents deal with their children's Facebook?
31:40Do you remember Summer?
31:42Well, I asked his mother.
31:44Do you control Summer's Facebook page?
31:46I try to give him a little privacy, you know, because he's a teenager.
31:51Besides, I know I can't leave any comments in his posts,
31:55because he can delete them.
31:58This is a method to raise children, but there are others.
32:01That's your laptop, and this is a .45 caliber gun.
32:08Your mother insisted that I shoot her.
32:11This one's for her.
32:13This is Cheyenne.
32:15She says she's completely hooked on Facebook.
32:17She's 18.
32:19As soon as I wake up, I grab my phone from the nightstand
32:22and I start checking Facebook.
32:27You're checking it right now?
32:29Yes. I'm on it for more than 12 hours a day.
32:33What's the longest time you've spent without using Facebook?
32:36Well, an hour.
32:38And people don't mind talking to you
32:40and you're on the phone all the time?
32:42Yeah, and they say, hello?
32:45She checked Facebook 43 times while she was trying to interview him.
32:50Okay, okay, let's go back to the interview.
32:52All right.
32:53Is there anything else in your life that takes up so much time and effort?
32:57No, it's like my best friend.
33:00Well, I have a best friend in real life,
33:03but it's like...
33:05I don't know how to explain it.
33:07It's weird.
33:09But, yeah, I check it.
33:15I pay more attention to Facebook
33:17than any other person or anything else.
33:21Wow.
33:22Okay, can I see your phone for a second?
33:28So now that you're not checking Facebook,
33:30how do you maintain a conversation with someone?
33:36I don't.
33:39When I finally took her phone, she didn't say a word.
33:45Are you okay without your phone?
33:50I just want to read a message.
33:52Do you want me to give it back to you?
33:54Yeah.
33:55Okay.
33:58I wasn't as surprised by how hooked she was on Facebook
34:01as her inability to communicate outside of Facebook.
34:05What if Facebook did this to my son?
34:07She's totally hooked on this form of communication
34:10by short messages.
34:11She can't even make full sentences.
34:13It's crazy.
34:14When you left a few minutes ago, I was talking to her.
34:17Are they guys or girls?
34:18Both.
34:20Do you have fans?
34:21They know me by my Facebook nickname.
34:24It's not my real name.
34:25Wow.
34:26Oh my God.
34:27But you're Chesty London, the one on Facebook.
34:32So you're kind of famous.
34:34Yeah.
34:35But are you serious?
34:36Because if you're serious, I believe you.
34:38Right?
34:39Yeah.
34:40This was a kind of discovery.
34:42Facebook wasn't as addictive as the feeling it gave her.
34:46Facebook made her feel famous.
34:48In the world of Facebook, she's a star.
34:51This is Kitty.
34:52They call her the Pink Lady of Hollywood.
34:56Welcome.
34:58Hi.
34:59How are you?
35:00Come on in.
35:02Wow.
35:04It's not a joke.
35:05Everything is pink.
35:06Even my dog is pink.
35:08Your dog is pink?
35:09His name is Kissy.
35:10Kissy Poo.
35:11Kissy.
35:12I'm a character actor.
35:13I'm not that famous, but I'm a television personality.
35:17I've been the Pink Lady for 28 years.
35:19I've coined the brand, and that's how I sell myself.
35:22You seem to have an obsessive personality.
35:24For me, perfect.
35:25And tell me, what role has Facebook played in your career?
35:28Everything I do, I share.
35:30I'm always connected to my BlackBerry.
35:32It's like a drug.
35:33I take a lot of photos, because people love photos.
35:36Photos are the Nova Mask.
35:38I get tons of likes.
35:40Everyone likes it.
35:41And it's funny, because it wasn't popular in school.
35:43It was a thing, but now I'm super popular.
35:45I have thousands of friends.
35:47Can you show me your Facebook page?
35:49Yeah.
35:50Okay.
35:51Do you have to?
35:52Yeah, of course.
35:53Okay.
35:54I'm always exaggerating.
35:55I don't have as many friends as I told you.
35:57I see.
35:58I'm the worst.
35:59836.
36:00It's still a lot.
36:01No.
36:02No way.
36:03What do you mean no way?
36:04I don't know why I don't have more.
36:05I have to get more and as soon as possible.
36:07Make friends right now.
36:08Out of this list, how many people do you know in real life?
36:1150, at most.
36:13If you were given to choose between money and fame, what would you choose?
36:17Probably the fame, because it's more fun.
36:20Everyone wants recognition.
36:22Everyone wants to be loved.
36:23And that's what Facebook does.
36:25It makes you feel good.
36:26And that's it.
36:27Oh.
36:28And I guess it makes her feel better.
36:30I guess.
36:31I guess.
36:32And good?
36:33Oh, my God.
36:34You know what?
36:35Thank God that Facebook exists.
36:37Because it allows her to fulfill her dream to a certain extent.
36:40Facebook gives her that dream.
36:41What she wants most in the world is to have a little fame and be relevant.
36:44And Facebook gives it to her.
36:46How would she have achieved that 10 years ago?
36:48It would have been impossible.
37:00Would Jesus have opened an account on Facebook?
37:02Would Jesus have opened an account on Facebook?
37:04It's a good question.
37:06You know, it's very possible.
37:09Because Jesus used the available methods at that time to spread his message.
37:15So it's possible.
37:17It turns out that Jesus is on Facebook.
37:20And it makes sense, because if it's used well, Facebook can do miracles.
37:24When we lost contact with someone, we had to do a little detective work to find him again.
37:29With the Internet, it's much easier.
37:31A father and a daughter who had not seen each other for years celebrate their reunion tonight.
37:36I'm the happiest man in the world.
37:38They just removed a vital organ from me.
37:40Ali donated a kidney to a man she met five months ago on Facebook.
37:44An unknown man who asked for help.
37:47His name is Dan Garrett.
37:49And the page simply said,
37:51My husband needs a new kidney.
37:54Thanks to Facebook, more than a million jobs have been created.
37:57And income of more than 100 billion dollars has been generated.
38:00And the truth is that it helps people preserve their relationships and share important moments.
38:05I realized this once a cousin of mine came to visit me.
38:08He had leukemia at 21 years old.
38:10He has already had three kidney transplants.
38:12He has been about to die so many times that he has lost count.
38:15And we have not spoken more than a couple of times in the last 15 years.
38:19Would it have been different if I were on Facebook?
38:22There are thousands of Facebook users who have died, but their Facebook profiles are still active.
38:27For example, my good friend Denise Cramsey, producer of This House is a Ruin,
38:32who died tragically and suddenly.
38:34Her Facebook page is still active.
38:38That's her.
38:46Look, there are pictures of her and stuff.
38:48I don't have any of those pictures, I've never seen them.
38:54I didn't even know I had a Facebook page.
38:56And that made me think about the other relationships I've had throughout my life,
39:01and the ones I had lost.
39:03Oh my God.
39:05It's him.
39:07Oh my God, it's him.
39:10He was my best friend at high school.
39:13Literally, one of my favorite people in the world.
39:15I haven't seen him in 20 years, I don't even know anything about him.
39:17We had completely lost contact.
39:19But Steve Steele has located him in 30 seconds, literally.
39:23Now I can send him a message. How do you do that?
39:27What do you do?
39:28Bran doesn't know that every time he goes on Facebook as Steve Steele,
39:32everyone else can see him.
39:35Is he connected now?
39:37Yes, yes.
39:38Yes, he's connected right now.
39:40Shouldn't you be working?
39:48Okay, I'll admit it.
39:51What are you doing, guys?
39:54I've spent a lot of time making Steve Steele on Facebook.
39:58And the truth is, I've been having a good time.
40:00But I've started posting photos of my real life.
40:03So Steve Steele's Facebook friends are starting to become my real friends.
40:09The truth is, it's hard for me to tell what belongs to Steve Steele and what belongs to me.
40:18Look, I'm not saying Facebook isn't good. I've already admitted it.
40:22Really, the important thing isn't Facebook.
40:24I've realized that the important thing, what makes Facebook so popular, is something else.
40:29And I've discovered what it is.
40:31I'm digressing a bit, so I'm going to sum it up.
40:34What makes Facebook so exceptional is its ability to appeal to two of the most powerful human emotions.
40:40Narcissism and insecurity.
40:44To begin with, Facebook allows you to create a world that revolves around you.
40:49And it allows you to coordinate this world,
40:51relying only on people you accept as friends.
40:55It's like controlling the list of guests to an exclusive party where you're the star.
41:00Facebook allows you to feel important and safe at the same time.
41:04It's a pretty great idea.
41:07That's why Facebook works.
41:10Does it make sense?
41:11Yes.
41:12What do you mean exactly?
41:15You used to say that either the problem was Facebook, or the problem was yours.
41:20And now you're telling me that Facebook isn't bad at all.
41:24Look, you can't say that Facebook isn't bad at all.
41:27But after everything we've seen, I'd say that the root of the problem is not Facebook itself.
41:33So what is it?
41:36Dr. Driupinski has conducted a narcissism test on the Internet.
41:41He has come to the same conclusion over and over again.
41:43The famous ones are the most narcissistic and insecure people.
41:46The highest score of 34 points was given by a collaborator of Howard Stern's program, Robin Quivers.
41:52You've come to the conclusion that Robin isn't just the most narcissistic person in our program,
41:56but the most narcissistic person you've ever met.
41:59Come on!
42:00Yeah.
42:01It's the worst case of narcissism you've ever seen.
42:04I believe it.
42:05I don't know about the worst case, but it's the winner.
42:08Are you ready?
42:10I have a natural talent to influence others.
42:12I'm not good at influencing others.
42:14I'm not sure if I would make a good leader.
42:16I see myself as a good leader.
42:18Jesus!
42:20I'm like everyone else.
42:21I'm an extraordinary person.
42:22How can I say that I'm not good at influencing others?
42:24I'm not sure if I would make a good leader.
42:26I see myself as a good leader.
42:28I'm an extraordinary person.
42:29How can I say that I'm not good at influencing others?
42:31Am I the only one who answers like a normal person?
42:34Come on!
42:3535!
42:38The highest score is 40.
42:39The average score in the United States is 15.
42:42What are you laughing at?
42:45Does that mean you're too narcissistic for Facebook?
42:49Maybe.
42:50It's possible.
42:52What did he mean by that?
42:53To find out, I went to the source.
42:57Here he is.
42:58I'm Bran.
42:59Nice to meet you, Bran.
43:00Thank you for coming.
43:01A pleasure.
43:02There's one thing I want to ask you.
43:03One of the strangest phenomena in the world is Facebook.
43:06It feels like Facebook has emerged at the same time
43:09as the popularization of mobile phones with a camera.
43:12We document all aspects of our lives,
43:14and not only do we document them,
43:16but they only exist if we spread them around the world
43:18through Facebook or email or Twitter or any other medium.
43:22It's almost like life has stopped making sense
43:25if we don't amplify it and stage it on social media.
43:28Is Facebook considered addictive?
43:30There's something called conductive addiction.
43:33If you feel anxiety or you're not comfortable
43:35or you have low self-esteem or you feel that life is not worth it,
43:39you can get lost in that virtual world
43:41and somehow take refuge in a world of drowsiness.
43:43And what's the link between narcissism and Facebook?
43:46In a way, they go hand in hand
43:48in the sense that there is a frequent mechanism known as dissociation.
43:51Dissociation is something that affects people
43:53who have suffered a narcissistic wound
43:55and are subject to narcissistic processes.
43:58The need to project yourself into the world
44:00is a fundamentally narcissistic impulse.
44:02It's like our true self doesn't exist
44:04unless you share these things.
44:06Do you have Facebook?
44:07Yes, but I don't usually get involved.
44:09I don't have time to tell people what I'm doing.
44:11It doesn't go with me.
44:12Exactly, it sounds good when you say it.
44:14Another thing I wanted to ask you about
44:17and that was a little disconcerting to me
44:20is that I did your narcissism test.
44:23Yes.
44:24And I was a little surprised
44:25because I thought the answers were very obvious.
44:27You didn't use any kind of cheating?
44:29No, I was 100% honest.
44:31Jake was with me.
44:32You answered honestly.
44:33I answered honestly and this is my score.
44:3535.
44:36Yes, 35.
44:3735.
44:38More or less what Robin Quivers got.
44:40It's a lot, isn't it?
44:41Yes, it's a very high score.
44:43It means that in any case
44:44you have very developed narcissistic defense strategies
44:48and that you may have suffered
44:49some narcissistic injury in your childhood.
44:51What is a narcissistic injury?
44:53Abandonment, lack of affection, mistreatment,
44:56that kind of thing that somehow makes you
44:58distrust other people,
45:00have problems in your relationships
45:02and in your personal life.
45:03In your case, I don't know if it's like that or not
45:05because we don't know each other,
45:06but maybe Facebook scares you
45:07because it's a place where those certainties
45:09you have about yourself could be left out.
45:13Maybe you find other people who don't reinforce all this.
45:21But it doesn't mean that you think you're great.
45:24It actually means that you feel a little empty inside
45:27and maybe you don't regulate your emotions
45:30and you need a series of things to protect you,
45:33to cheer you up,
45:34to not face those underlying feelings
45:36that are not so pleasant.
45:38And maybe those underlying feelings
45:39will be exposed through Facebook.
45:46Mom!
45:52How are you?
45:53Good.
45:55You seem a little quiet.
46:06Why do you say that?
46:07It's scratched.
46:10It's really scratched.
46:14What did I mean by that?
46:17I didn't know what to think
46:19until I understood it all of a sudden.
46:22What scared me wasn't Facebook.
46:24What scared me was how I would be on Facebook,
46:27how I could get Facebook out of me.
46:29And that's why I've been avoiding it.
46:31But it turns out that I actually love Facebook,
46:34or at least my own version of Facebook.
46:37My life is a safe, protected and totally controlled social network.
46:41The problem wasn't Facebook,
46:43but my own problems,
46:45my need to control everything.
46:48I'm a narcissist and an insecure person.
46:51And I'm not on Facebook,
46:53because Facebook is me.
47:02My fatherly instinct is to protect my son
47:04from anything that can hurt him.
47:07But sooner or later,
47:08I'll have to realize that he's growing up.
47:17It's just that I don't think it's possible
47:19to prevent him from opening an account.
47:21It's as if we, as kids,
47:22had been told,
47:23you can't have a bike.
47:24I don't want us to become the kind of parents
47:26who forbid their children to have Facebook.
47:28I agree.
47:29That's never going to work.
47:30Yeah.
47:32Kaylis?
47:33Yes?
47:34What are you doing, pal?
47:36Can we come in?
47:39Yeah.
47:40I want to talk to you about Facebook.
47:42Okay.
47:44I was thinking that when you turn 13,
47:46you might be able to...
47:48Dude!
47:52Put the phone down!
47:56My name is Kaylis Pimbidik
47:58and I don't have a job.
48:02What would you do if you had Facebook?
48:06Let's see.
48:08If I had Facebook...
48:11I don't understand that thing
48:13about telling your life like,
48:14click,
48:15tuna salad is the best thing in the world.
48:17I don't understand that.
48:18I'd probably post things
48:19that people would actually want to see.
48:21Funny things and stuff.
48:23Like,
48:24for example,
48:25there's a place to park
48:26in the mall parking lot.
48:28There's a free spot.
48:30And when you park,
48:31it turns out it's a dwarf car.
48:33Like,
48:34damn it!
48:35The place looked bigger.
48:36I thought I could park.
48:38Okay, that's funny.
48:40Yeah, but I didn't count.
48:42It's funny in the picture.
48:47You should work in Hollywood.
48:49Why do you think I don't have Facebook, Kaylis?
48:52Oh, here's the funny part.
48:54I think you don't have Facebook
48:55because everyone has it.
48:56And you don't want to be the kind of person
48:58that thinks,
48:59well,
49:00like everyone is on Facebook,
49:02well,
49:03I guess I also have to fit in.
49:05But you don't want to fit in.
49:07You want to be a different person.
49:10The problem is not the problem,
49:11it's your attitude with respect to the problem.
49:14Captain Jack Sparrow,
49:15I just remembered another quote.
49:17Come on, say it.
49:18Okay.
49:20The optimist sees the donut
49:22and the...
49:24I forgot what the other one's called.
49:25The other one sees the hole.
49:28Because the donut has a hole.
49:30The optimist sees the donut
49:31and the pessimist sees the hole.
49:34Yes, that.
49:35I get it.
49:36So for you,
49:37you see the good things,
49:38like the optimists,
49:39you see the good things about Facebook,
49:41but the pessimists see the bad things,
49:43how it destroys people's lives.
49:45But actually,
49:46it's not their fault,
49:47I mean,
49:48it's not Facebook's fault,
49:49it's their fault.
49:50So what am I,
49:51an optimist or a pessimist?
49:54You're neutral.
49:55You see the donut,
49:56but you also see the hole
49:58and you ask yourself
49:59why they put a hole in the donut.
50:03You're right.
50:04And although I still have a couple of months
50:06before we decide
50:07what to do with Kayles and Facebook,
50:08it's time to decide
50:09what I'm going to do with Facebook.
50:12Here it is.
50:13Today is the big day.
50:15Are you excited?
50:16I'm ready.
50:17I still have no idea
50:18what you're going to do.
50:19Neither do I.
50:21But today is the day.
50:24The big moment.
50:25This is ready.
50:26The question is,
50:27do I close the Facebook issue forever
50:32or do I take it all in at once
50:34and just embrace it?
50:39Ready?
50:40Ready.
50:41And you?
50:42I'm ready.
50:46Here it is.
50:57You're ready.
50:58I'm ready.
50:59I'm ready.
51:00I'm ready.
51:01I'm ready.
51:02I'm ready.
51:03I'm ready.
51:04I'm ready.
51:05I'm ready.
51:06I'm ready.
51:07I'm ready.
51:08I'm ready.
51:09I'm ready.
51:10I'm ready.
51:11I'm ready.
51:12I'm ready.
51:13I'm ready.
51:14I'm ready.
51:15I'm ready.
51:16I'm ready.
51:17I'm ready.
51:18I'm ready.
51:19I'm ready.
51:20I'm ready.
51:21I'm ready.
51:22I'm ready.
51:23I'm ready.
51:24I'm ready.
