>      Yours might be one of angst and despair, or celebrations and
>    "I told you so's." 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.
