What we fail to realise is, how these recommendations, point by point actually change our opinions, manipulate us and with the content “we want to see,” we lose our ability to comprehend opposite views. You have read about all you think is right every day on your feed, and there is so much to support your views that the opposition and their thinking looks stupid to you. Stupid because, inspite of all the supporting content, they fail to see it! Just that, the opposition also believes in the feed they are watching, day in and out. Heavily funded conspiracy theories which have successfully affected people with similar likes as you are served to you for engagement. National elections, climate change, racial compassion and many other fundamentally important issues are targeted, and opinions swayed, ever so slightly, for some third-party beneficiaries. We feel it was our choice of support, but we would never have a wholesome view of the situation to decide unless we categorically demand so.
