Internet echo chambers

Internet echo chambers occur when online platforms or communities reinforce the same beliefs by mainly showing you content that aligns with your existing opinions, while filtering out opposing viewpoints. This can happen through algorithms that personalize what you see, creating a feedback loop where exposure to diverse ideas diminishes. As a result, individuals may become more convinced of their viewpoints, less open to different perspectives, and less aware of alternative opinions. Echo chambers can contribute to polarization and limit healthy, balanced discussions online.
