It’s an analogy, a metaphor. They are not saying it’s literally hacking.
Don’t see how that applies tbh.I think it is a deliberate misnomer on the part of the producer's though, because it mirrors how social media misdirects it's users.
Nobody is going to be misdirected by the title unless they are completely asleep at the wheel.0 -
I didn't say you had said it.:rolleyes: . The title says it, yet it's not hacking that's involved.I didn’t say it was hacking.

And it's not hacking if willingly giving consent is the issue (which it is).
A metaphor for hacking? I don't think so, though I do see it's possibility.Don’t see how that applies tbh.

If people see a title with hacking in it, and it's not about hacking, you're not asleep at the wheel; you've been misdirected. By the end, some or most people will have realised it. I just pointed it out as a side issue.
There's a thread on The Great Hack if you want to move over there.;)0 -

Jesus Christ dude. No not a metaphor for hacking, the film isn't about hacking.
They are using the word hack just the word, as a metaphor for the action of data mining people's personal info without their consent. This is not complicated.
There's no misdirection. It's clearly not about hacking.If people see a title with hacking in it, and it's not about hacking, you're not asleep at the wheel; you've been misdirected. By the end, some or most people will have realised it.0 -

So, you're right- it's not about hacking! Which is what I said; so whether the end result is a metaphor or not- the title is still "a bit of a misnomer". It's at the very least a misleading title.
This was well put by you; "They are using the word hack just the word, as a metaphor for the action of data mining people's personal info without their consent". However, using a metaphor is something that is discovered after/during watching the documentary; the title is misleading. What's the issue with that? All I was pointing out - which you have taken issue with- was the simple fact that the title can lead people to be believe that it concerns actual hacking, which it clearly doesn't.0 -

Is it just me or does constant postings of what’s coming out or now available on Netflix kinda miss the point of this thread ? I find the recommendations and opinions really useful- the “TV guide “ posts just annoying ! I see what’s available and new as soon as I login to Netflix ...
Yeah but then you actually have to sift through and scan netflix and its annoying need to play the trailer of anything you hover over when you're just looking around the list, i actually hate a lot of the layout of netflix and wish i could customise it more to my liking..
Which is why I prefer to just gloss over what peteeeed and the others just post, its much faster and im on boards anyway
