Filter Bubble
The 2016 election took place under the spectre of a bubble. Not the subprime mortgage lending bubble that shaped the 2008 election, but the “filter bubble”. Tens of millions of American voters gets their news on Facebook, where highly personalized news feeds dish up a steady stream of content that reinforces users’ pre-existing beliefs.
Wong, Julia Carrie, Sam Levin, and Olivia Solon. 2016. “Bursting the Facebook Bubble: We Asked Voters on the Left and Right to Swap Feeds.” The Guardian, November 16, sec. US news. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/16/facebook-bias-bubble-us-election-conservative-liberal-news-feed.
Democracy requires citizens to see things from one another’s point of view, but instead we’re more and more enclosed in our own bubbles. Democracy requires a reliance on shared facts; instead we’re being offered parallel but separate universes.
Pariser, Eli. 2011. The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding From You. London: The Penguin Press.
