The Rise of Ideological Silos in the Digital Age

Have you ever scrolled through your social media feed and felt like you were trapped in an endless loop of the same opinions and perspectives being repeated over and over? 

Like you were in an echo chamber where your own beliefs were constantly being reinforced, while opposing viewpoints were nowhere to be found?

The truth is, it’s all too easy to get sucked into these ideological bubbles online without even realizing it.

The algorithms are designed to show us more of what we already like and agree with. Our confirmation biases draw us to information that supports our existing opinions. And soon enough, we find ourselves in a comfortable silo, insulated from anything that might challenge our worldview.
