    A friend's parents are Trump supporters. He said Facebook had done more than Fox News to create the filter bubble they live in.

        Because the views on Fox aren't tailorfit to each invidivual. The glove over the influencers' hand is still there, but on FB it fits better.

        In Egypt, the revolution and counter-revolution were literally run on FB. Most people that I know used info off of FB to form conclusions.

        In '09 I considered applying to YC w/ a network to spread news according to a different incentive than fb's. I didn't.

        I couldnt quite nail the product & knew it would be difficult to replicate some of what fb does, better. But… news got so bad, I regret this

        I wonder how much Facebook's engagement would fall if they dropped link and article sharing. They want more video anyway.

        Worth considering: What if people WANT to be in this echo chamber and don't want to hear the other side? How can a new product change that

        agree strongly. i feel like people need to a) educate themselves about this bias and b) have tools to for exposure to broader perspectives

        By looking for the sources of the counterarguments they used when he tried to change their minds.
