Facebook's Filter Bubble Is Getting Worse
Tom Steinburg phrases what I&#x27;ve been thinking for years pretty well: &quot;...urgently tell [facebook] that to not act on this problem now is tantamount to actively supporting and funding the tearing apart of the fabric of society&quot;<p>The filter bubble puts artificial divides between people, strengthening those divides and making it seem as if anyone who disagrees with you is part of a radical group that all agree with each other. Facebook and Google are tearing apart the internet community and the results are already showing.<p>For example, look at the anti-SJW movement. A large chunk of them assume anyone who calls themselves a &quot;feminist&quot; is batshit insane and also wants ridiculous things like &quot;safe zones&quot;. I doubt such a movement could have popped up without the filter bubble artificially dividing people on the internet. The filter bubble silently manipulates how people think, in a very destructive manner.
