Following this, Facebook has responded to the allegations made and stated that the documentary is far from reality.
Facebook, in its seven-point response, says it buries the substance in sensationalism.?

Defending the algorithms, it said that Facebook's technology, "keeps the platform relevant and useful," and added, "Portraying algorithms as 'mad' may make good fodder for conspiracy documentaries, but the reality is a lot less entertaining."
