Wow. Now they're proud of putting people into information bubbles. This company is showing more and more how disconnected they are from reality and why people are starting not to trust them anymore.
It's not clear to me how this new option is putting people in an "information bubble" any more than a person deciding to buy a copy of "Chicken Soup For the Soul" instead of "Mindhunter." Can you clarify?
Google is deciding that they can know what good news is. Facebook/Google have never tried to put people in information bubbles they just create the systems that enable people to do it to themselves. Everything is avoidable online, but we keep making it harder and harder for people to remain unbiased and share common truths.
You should read the article, the headline is very misleading :)
