It depends on the people you're friends with and the online community you've created with your clicks, likes and shares. Facebook's algorithm knows what you like based on the videos you watch, people you talk to, and content you interact with. It then shows you more of the same. This creates something called "filter bubbles." You begin to see only the content you like and agree with, while Facebook (FB, Tech30) hides dissenting points of view. This means news on Facebook comes with confirmation bias -- it reinforces what you already think is true -- and people are increasingly frustrated. - - - --Lauren-- https://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
