Eli Pariser is an American internet activist and entrepreneur best known for co-founding Upworthy, a website focused on sharing impactful content. He is also recognized for his work on the concept of "filter bubbles," which refers to how algorithms on social media and search engines tailor content to individual preferences, potentially isolating users from diverse perspectives.
