Information Coccons
Information cocoons happen because users actively choose and algorithms passively choose what to expose them to based on their expressed interests, tastes, and preferences. It is connected to the idea that people tend to see, hear, and seek out what they like, find pleasing and comforting, and are resistant to new ideas that challenge their existing beliefs. However, the drawback of this phenomenon is that it limits exposure to opposing viewpoints and prevents awareness of things that exist outside of our areas of interest. This concept was first carried out by Cass R. Sunstein in his book Infotopia.[1]
