Less than a year after The Social Network debuted in 2010, a freaky, enhanced horror short gave a hint of the nightmare that Facebook had become.
The digital experience, Take This Lollipop, showed how easily a hypothetical serial killer could realistically hunt his prey using information gleaned from Facebook. (In this case, the prey was: you.)
The horrific project was as clever as it was chilling, and it came with a message that proved eerily prescient when, years later, the extent of Facebook’s data breaches and data misuse was made public.
Now, creator and The Forest director Jason Zada is back with Take This Lollipop 2, an equally timely sequel for the era of deepfakes and webcam hijacking.
