Conceptual Framework
Key definitions from leading researchers
Filter Bubble
“"Intellectual isolation that arises when personalized searches, recommendation systems, and algorithmic curation selectively present information to each user."”
Echo Chamber
“"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
“Members of epistemic bubbles lack exposure to information, while echo chamber members systematically distrust and discredit outside sources.”
