James Ball added,
It's not looking at general social interaction. So taking this then saying "oh no filter bubble" is totally misunderstanding the study (2/2)
The topics were picked because they were *already known* as hugely polarising. Hardly news that climate change is a divisive issue online.
(This series of tweets brought to you by "cool viral chart vs reality", an ongoing series of doomed battles)
The chart literally has this in the caption who do you think is misreading it?
The original poster (read his thread) and pretty much everyone else sharing it tbh
His thread stands. Why would a study look at the sharing of uncontroversial ideas? Who cares if the left retweet the right's #GBBO takes?
The study stands, his thread is nonsense: he has taken a study looking at topics we know are polarised (that's why the study chose them)…
I think you're misconstruing what I said, which is simply that there is little middle-ground on extremely important topics.
"the left and right are generally isolated from each other", which may or may not be true but certainly isn't what that data shows
*They are isolated from each other on the topics studied.* But I only have 140 characters, I can't point out every little nuance.
