I just finished watching it and my mind is blown but I am not sure कि algorithms, reward pathways of थे brain, artificial intelligence जैसे concepts को हिंदी में किस तरह से simplify करके translate किया जाए. Sounds like an uphill task.

About The Social Dilemma
The Social Dilemma has triggered some strong reactions amid viewers about their specific use of social media and how it is used to carry out data collection and ad-targeting. The documentary aims at being provocative and investigative about the nature of social media. The documentary through its runtime does not waste time in exposition and leads viewers right down the terror to showcase the ugly truth of social media. Though a Black Mirror season is not scheduled for 2020 release, Netflix's The Social Dilemma has made up to the loss effectively.
