From How Filter Bubbles Isolate You on edu.gcfglobal.org

"You may not even realize you’re in a filter bubble because these algorithms don’t ask for your permission, tell you when they’re active, or say what they’re keeping from you."

Discernment in the digital age is a yogic practice—what you consume shapes your mind, so seek truth beyond the comfort of your filter bubble.
