Facebook Obsession, The

Synopsis

The FACEBOOK OBSESSION tells the story behind the rise of the world’s largest social networking site, told through the company’s founders, friends and foes. Correspondent Lester Holt delivers a comprehensive look at how the Facebook phenomenon, with half a billion users, is affecting society in ways most people are unaware of. From a girl who is reunited with her birth mother with the help of Facebook, to a woman who lost her job because of her online postings, The FACEBOOK OBSESSION examines how the site is fundamentally altering American life. Holt explores the debate about privacy that Facebook has provoked, and explains the business model that has turned a dorm-room venture into a multi-billion dollar enterprise.
