After the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal, people want The Social Network 2

In spite of it being about the day-to-day at a growing tech start-up, The Social Network managed to be a riveting movie, so surely the company's pivotal role in the downfall of American democracy is worthy of some sort of sequel?

This is what film fans are calling for on Reddit, u/thefilmer writing to a ton of upvotes: "So we're totally getting a sequel to The Social Network based Facebook's handling of the 2016 election right?

"The fodder is right there and I want to delve more into Zuckererg and his fuckery."

Shares in Facebook plummeted this week, wiping $37bn off the company's value, following reports on Cambridge Analytica, a firm a whistleblower referred to as a "dirty MI6" that used Facebook user data to target and manipulate people with (often false) information.

The Oscar-winning Social Network remains an impressive film, and who better to continue the Facebook narrative than director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who have both worked on House of Cards and The West Wing respectively?

Hollywood has already started weaving social networks into dystopian tales, Facebook being riffed on in Tom Hanks and Emma Watson-starrer The Circle and Jesse Eisenberg (who of course played Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network) giving Lex Luthor a Silicon Valley overhaul in Batman vs. Superman.
