Så kan det vara. Då fick jag svar på frågan.
Det kallas echo chamber. Kunskap skall sätta dig fri
"An echo chamber is a situation, especially online, where people only encounter information, ideas, and opinions that reinforce their existing beliefs, while opposing views are filtered out or dismissed, creating a closed system that amplifies one perspective and stifles critical thinking, often fueled by algorithms and confirmation bias. These digital spaces limit exposure to diverse viewpoints, leading to distorted realities, misinformation, and polarization, as seen on platforms like Facebook and Twitter where users get trapped in feeds of like-minded content.
Key Characteristics
Reinforcement: Beliefs are constantly affirmed through repeated exposure to similar content.
Exclusion: Dissenting or different opinions are rarely encountered or are actively ridiculed.
Algorithmic Influence: Social media algorithms, designed to show you what you like, inadvertently create these chambers.
Confirmation Bias: People naturally seek information that confirms what they already believe, which echo chambers exploit.
How They Form (Especially Online)
Following/Friending: Users connect with like-minded individuals and groups.
Content Filtering: Algorithms prioritize content from these connections, creating a personalized feed of agreeable information.
Limited Exposure: Users see little to no opposing views, making their own beliefs seem dominant or universally accepted.
Consequences
Misinformation: False or misleading content spreads easily without challenge.
Polarization: Deepens divides as people become more entrenched in their views.
Reduced Critical Thinking: Lack of challenge hinders the ability to evaluate complex issues.
How to Break Out
Follow diverse accounts: Intentionally follow people and sources with different viewpoints.
Fact-check: Be critical of emotionally charged content before sharing.
Engage respectfully: Talk to people with different opinions to understand, not convert."
