Filter Bubbles

A filter bubble occurs when algorithms used by online platforms personalize your content, such as search results or social media feeds, based on your previous activity. This customization can limit exposure to diverse viewpoints and information, creating an environment where you're mainly exposed to ideas and news that reinforce your existing beliefs. Over time, filter bubbles can narrow your perspective, making it harder to see different opinions or new information, and potentially influencing your understanding of the world. Recognizing this helps you actively seek out varied sources to maintain a balanced view.
