In December 2009, Google began customizing its search results for each user. Instead of giving you the most broadly popular result, Google now tries to predict what you are most likely to click on. According to MoveOn.org board president Eli Pariser, Google’s change in policy is symptomatic of the most significant shift to take place on the Web in recent years: the rise of personalization. In this groundbreaking investigation of the new hidden Web, Pariser uncovers how this growing trend threatens to control how we consume and share information as a society - and reveals what we can do about it.
Though the phenomenon has gone largely undetected until now, personalized filters are sweeping the Web, creating individual universes of information for each of us. Facebook - the primary news source for an increasing number of Americans - prioritizes the links it believes will appeal to you so that if you are a liberal, you can expect to see only progressive links. Even an old-media bastion like The Washington Post devotes the top of its home page to a news feed with the links your Facebook friends are sharing.
Behind the scenes, a burgeoning industry of data companies is tracking your personal information to sell to advertisers, from your political leanings to the color you painted your living room to the hiking boots you just browsed on Zappos.
In a personalized world, we will increasingly be typed and fed only news that is pleasant, familiar, and confirms our beliefs - and because these filters are invisible, we won’t know what is being hidden from us. Our past interests will determine what we are exposed to in the future, leaving less room for the unexpected encounters that spark creativity, innovation, and the democratic exchange of ideas.
While we all worry that the Internet is eroding privacy or shrinking our attention spans, Pariser uncovers a more pernicious and far-reaching trend and shows how we can - and must - change course.

The people at MoveOn.org exist to create re-directing/ obfuscating narratives for TPTB. Period.

Most people use the internet and mass media in their small echo chamber to guarantee their belief system is unchallenged.

The free flow of information has always been bad news for authoritarian regimes: the Roman Catholic Church had its List of Forbidden Books in place by 1559, barely a century after the arrival in Europe of movable type publishing.
Google has come a long way from ‘Don’t Be Evil’, though I’m relieved they haven’t started burning folk at the stake just yet.

Google had a business development team looking into creating practices and resources around anti-bullying. The team had to be disbanded because of the level of bullying that went on within it.

so basically what we’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years, isn’t considered a conspiracy theory anymore?!
When the hell are the lemmings on the left going to wake up to the Frankenstein tech Deep state monster they helped create? Now we see the direct real world results in the op Covid Scamdemic and the fallout and Palestine Genocide, control of information, a long-time goal of the Communist manifesto.

Don’t often hear the Roman Catholic Church being accused of being a cover for the Communist Manifesto.
Hitler’s Pope wouldn’t have liked that.

“so basically what we’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years, isn’t considered a conspiracy theory anymore?!”
You’ve been shouting a lot of crazy sh1t, no idea what you think you’re right about. If you think you’ve been “censored” on social media, still crazy. Right winger dominate all social media.
“When the hell are the lemmings on the left going to wake up to the Frankenstein tech Deep state monster they helped create?”
WTF? How did “the left” have anything to do with giant internet companies, all controlled by tech bros, at best libertarian, at worst complete fascists? Rhetorical question, of course, they’re all controlled by George Soros and Hugo Chavez.

“…the Roman Catholic Church had its List of Forbidden Books…”
Tell me who controls the media and what we get to know or not today?
I doubt that its the Christians.
