I don't think anyone actually *wants* to fix the problem of social networks being ideological bubbles by design. People like to follow those they agree with on issues. If those networks started inserting articles from the opposite end of politics into users timelines it would be an outrage.

On an individual level, you can combat the polarization of politics by following people who post strong and eloquent arguments against your ideological position, but who's going to do this when they can just surround themselves with yes-men?

I don't think they're ideological bubbles by design they're more advertising bubbles by design. The ideological bit of it is more happenstance. I mean, it's much easier to sell somebody something he or she already likes or knows.

or just not using social media as your only source of news Tongue

i think the "filter bubble" was actually much worse pre-internet when most people only read one newspaper and watched one news channel btw. imo the bigger issue of social media is something else the article touches on: it's extremely easy to spread propaganda and astroturf debates. people haven't developed immunity to those things the same way they developed immunity to more traditional one-to-many forms of (political) advertising. i.e. people are very likely to believe things shared by their friends on twitter or fb.

a group of people spent untold millions of pounds of public money to develop schemes and ideas within the health service, all of which were disastrously stupid
