The term "filter bubble" refers to the algorithmic personalization of search results that search engines promise, and in effect, users exists in a "filter bubble" – a “personalized universe of information” – that differs from individual to individual. The term "filter bubble" was introduced and popularised by the US tech entrepreneur and activist Eli Pariser, most significantly in his 2011 book The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You. However, in recent discussions, the term "filter bubble" is no longer primarily applied to search results, as it was in Pariser’s original conceptualization; today, "filter bubbles" are more frequently envisaged as disruptions to information flows online and especially social media. "Filter bubbles", which reinforce our existing beliefs, are seen as critical enablers of Brexit, Trump, Bolsonaro, and other populist political phenomena, and search and social media companies have been criticized for failing to prevent their development.
