Notes

Pariser's 2011 TED talk on filter bubbles became a foundational reference for understanding algorithmic personalization's societal effects. He expanded the concept in his 2011 book The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You. His work bridged activist and academic communities in highlighting how algorithms shape information access and political polarization.
