Internet bias

Internet bias means that different information is available to different people based on the websites they visit, the search terms they use, and the platforms they use to access the internet.

Imagine you go to a toy store and want to get a new toy. You look at two different shelves, one with cars and one with dolls. You choose to look at the dolls because you like playing with them more. In the same way, when you use the internet and search for something, you may choose to click on websites that match your interests or beliefs more than others.

However, the problem is that not all websites or sources of information are unbiased. They can be created by people or organizations who want to persuade you to think a certain way or buy something. Sometimes people call this "fake news".

For example, let's say you wanted to learn about elephants. If you type "elephants" into your search engine, you might see different results depending on where you live, your age, your previous searches, and other factors. You might see different images, videos, and articles about elephants.

So, if someone lives in a city and has never seen an elephant, their information about elephants may be different than someone who lived in a village and has seen them in person.

This is why it's important to use critical thinking and check multiple sources of information to make sure what you're seeing and reading is accurate and unbiased.
