Eli Pariser: Beware online "filter bubbles"
TED Talks
From 2016 · As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there's a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a "filter bubble" and don't get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy.

Technologists are trying to fix the “filter bubble” problem that tech helped create
MIT Technology Review
~11 min read · From 2018 · People want to surround themselves with like-minded peers with similar interests and values. On social media, algorithms pick up on people’s preferences and show more and more of the same perspective, thus reinforcing existing beliefs. The social divide that these “filter bubbles” foster makes it more and more difficult for people with divergent views to relate – even offline. However, if social media were the main culprit, diversifying social media feeds could cure society’s polarization. Journalist Adam Piore, writing for the MIT Technology Review, explains why the filter bubble isn’t simply a social media phenomenon. getAbstract recommends this insightful read to anyone interested in finding out why technical solutions alone can’t pop the filter
bubble.
