Aaron Sorkin Writing a Potential 'Social Network' Sequel: "I Blame Facebook for Jan. 6"

The 'West Wing' creator says he's working on a spiritual sequel to the 2010 hit that examines how Facebook's algorithm has impacted democracy.

The Oscar-winning screenwriter broke the news when he was asked during a live-from-D.C. edition of The Town podcast about how Facebook and social media have influenced democracy in the years since his 2010 hit.


“Look, yeah, I’ll be writing about this,” Sorkin told Matthew Belloni and Peter Hamby. “I blame Facebook for January 6.”

When asked why he blames a social media company for a pro-Donald Trump mob storming the U.S. Capitol, Sorkin replied, “You’re going to need to buy a movie ticket.”
