Aaron
Sorkin—who
wrote
the
screenplay
for
the
2010
film—shared
that
he’s
working
on
a
sequel, revealing that
he’s
trying
to
write
a
script
about
Facebook‘s
connection
to
the
January
6
United
States
Capitol
attack.
Hinting
at
his
thesis
for
the
movie,
Sorkin
said during
an
April
26
live
recording
of
The
Town
podcast, “I
blame
Facebook
for
January
6.”
“Facebook
has
been,
among
other
things,
tuning
its
algorithm
to
promote
the
most
divisive
material
possible,”
he
continued. “Because
that
is
what
will
increase
engagement.
That
is
what
will
get
you
to—what
they
call
inside
the
hallways
of
Facebook—‘the
infinite
scroll.'”
Sorkin
didn’t
share
whether
the
follow-up
will
involve
original
stars Andrew
Garfield, Jesse Eisenberg, Armie
Hammer and Justin
Timberlake.
The
West
Wing
creator went
on
to
note
that social
media
platforms
should
be battling
a “constant
tension”
between “growth
and
integrity.”
