DID YOU KNOW:
Different People + Same Search =
NOT SAME [Order/Results] AT ALL?
No matter what category -- news, books, shopping, whatever. Even if you are in the same room. Even if you use the same computer. But wait, there's scarier. Watch:

Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy. Read our community Q & A with Eli (featuring 10 ways to turn off the filter bubble): |
