ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Filter bubble

A filter bubble is a situation that happens when people use the internet. It's like a bubble around someone, filtering out information the person might see. For example, if you like to read about sports on the internet, the filter bubble might keep bringing up sports articles for you to read, even if there is other news happening in the world. When you're in a filter bubble, you're only seeing the information that is being filtered for you, and not the complete picture.
