  • "The hidden rise of personalization on the Internet is controlling--and limiting--the information we consume. In 2009, Google began customizing its search results. Instead of giving you the most broadly popular result, Google now tries to predict what you are most likely to click on. According to MoveOn.org board president Eli Pariser, this change is symptomatic of the most significant shift to take place on the Web in recent years--the rise of personalization. Though the phenomenon has gone largely undetected until now, personalized filters are sweeping the Web, creating individual universes of information for each of us. Data companies track your personal information to sell to advertisers, from your political leanings to the hiking boots you just browsed on Zappos. In a personalized world, we will increasingly be typed and fed only news that is pleasant, familiar, and confirms our beliefs--and because these filters are invisible, we won't know what is being hidden from us. Our past interests will determine what we are exposed to in the future, leaving less room for the unexpected encounters that spark creativity, innovation, and the democratic exchange of ideas.--From publisher description."@en
  • "In late 2009, Google began customizing search results for each user. Instead of giving you the most broadly popular result, Google now tries to predict what you are most likely to click on. Facebook - fast becoming one of the world's primary news sources - prioritizes the links that it believes will appeal to you. If you are a climate change denier, you can expect to see only links to news articles that debunk global warming. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, companies are tracking your every click and gathering your personal information. Welcome to the world of internet personalization. Say hello to advertising bombardments and angry, isolated opinions. Say goodbye to objective news, the free exchange of ideas, and unexpected encounters that spark creativity. In The Filter Bubble, Eli Pariser uncovers how this hidden personalised web threatens to control how we consume and share information as a society - and shows what we can do about it."
