Filter bubble, Do people really have free will?

Do people really have free will?

Not really, because you can choose what you click on put that is based on what the internet gives you. Because you are given this filter bubble that lets in information that the internet thinks you want to know and things that you might want to click on. The media controls what you see and you can only click on the links which are given to you. It looks like you are in control, but an example that came up from the video was that the talker asked two of his friends to search up Egypt and show what came up. They came up with very different pages, the information that was given to each user was also different as one, had sites in Egypt for a hotel booking while the other page had information. The media looks so hard at what you might click on next and it will even look at things such as how you are sitting and what kind of computer and browser you are using. This idea with social media controlling what you click what you need on social media and what you want. And this filter bubble unbalances that and give you just “information junk food.” It’s kind of like the Matrix(movie) where you are in this world that you think you are controlling when actually there is someone else controlling your world.
