    I’m told that my description says “technosociologist” in Korean! 👀 That’s the amazing-to-me but not that important point. But still! 😳😀pic.twitter.com/HndkeCCwBT

        zeynep tufekci Retweeted Ethan Zuckerman

        As for an actual point: rather than online filter bubbles, it’s the engagement/ad-driven business model which generates a design—not just algorithms—that fuels in-group bonding AND out-group conflict that should be our key worry.https://twitter.com/ethanz/status/1189735935530995712 …

        We worry about filter bubbles, but we encounter lots of other views online. The problem is that we see the other side, but only in a boxing ring, not in the context of meaningful deliberation. @zeynep at #sdf19 pic.twitter.com/2U6n9How9h

        We aren’t in echo chambers as much as we’re in a boxing ring—but with our team. We do encounter opposing views online, sometimes more than offline. In-group bonding and out-group conflict are complementary. Civilization is the process of making this core dynamic less destructive.

        The reason I’ve been criticizing the microtargeted engagement-driven business models for so long is that they make money by fueling both sides of this dynamic—and thus weakening all the structures we’ve tried to build to subsume and channel this core but dangerous human dynamic.

        (By the way, an all out ban on political advertising isn’t the remedy—won’t be easy to reinforce and will likely backfire. But I appreciate that at least Twitter is trying. We will need trial and error. But microtargeting plus business model is the core issue. Will write longer).

        Amazing shot, Zeynep. I love it! Also, I thought for a minute that was Elon on the poster next to yours. Just as well to avoid that juxtaposition of speakers. :)

        It’s a term I coined years and years ago when people used to confuse what I did with, say, studies of the user interface or experience.
