Selected quotes from Eli Pariser's "The Filter Bubble."

1. THE FILTER BUBBLE
“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.”
ELI PARISER
“Just as the factory farming
system that produces and
delivers our food shapes
what we eat, the dynamics
of our media shape what
information we consume.”

THE FILTER BUBBLE
ELI PARISER
“The attention economy is ripping
the binding, and the pages that
get read are the pages that are
frequently the most topical,
scandalous, and viral.”

3. THE FILTER BUBBLE
ELI PARISER
“It’s not just that experts are vulnerable
to confirmation bias—it’s that they’re
especially vulnerable to it.”
“In the bubble, the
proportion of content
that validates what
you know goes way up.”
The filter bubble doesn’t just reflect your identity.
It also illustrates what choices you have.
