Are filter bubbles controlling my life? To a certain and major extent, very much so. The main reason we even read in the first place is so we can gain information and earn new knowledge about subjects or things we have not known about in the past. However, there is no clear way you can control what and how your results show up. In addition, this would also mean that you will always receive the same information, news and articles. This will lead on to you only being focused and reading one thing, rather than receiving and realizing the bigger picture, which forces you to form fake opinions and possibly even begin spreading fake news. However, I sometimes matter of fact enjoy the filter bubbles as they almost all the time lead me into the right direction to what I am looking for. If only there was a simple feature on websites under the name, “filter free browsing” which the user can click on, rather than going through the difficult process of setting up a virtual private network (VPN) or changing the location, even being illegal in some countries such as China or Russia (but in Singapore this is completely legal).
