Conceptual Framework

Key definitions from leading researchers

Filter Bubble

Eli Pariser, 2011

"Intellectual isolation that arises when personalized searches, recommendation systems, and algorithmic curation selectively present information to each user."

Echo Chamber

Research Definition

"An environment or ecosystem in which participants encounter beliefs that amplify or reinforce their preexisting beliefs, by communication and repetition inside a closed system and insulated from rebuttal."

Epistemic Bubble vs. Echo Chamber

C. Thi Nguyen, 2020

Members of epistemic bubbles lack exposure to information, while echo chamber members systematically distrust and discredit outside sources.
