Avoiding the impact of “Filter Bubbles” – Take “Internet Doctor” as example

Published:18 October 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Over-personalized recommendation algorithms have led to various invisible filtering bubbles in the internet society, which constantly affect the internet environment and social ecology, causing some social impacts worth attention and some social problems that must be addressed. This paper starts from the generation, concept definition, and implications of filtering bubbles, fully recognizing the meaning of "filtering bubbles" and their impact on society, and puts forward some suggestions for media platforms to "pop bubbles". The paper mainly provides suggestions for media platforms to "pop bubbles" from three aspects: reducing or eliminating the use of recommendation algorithms, anti-personalized recommendations, and diversified packaging and combination of personalized recommendation content, and also put forward some thoughts on the future development direction of the field.
