How Bad can the Google Bubble Get?
The Google Bubble is is explained here. Note that it's basically an ad for Duck-Duck Go, but it does explain the problem succinctly.
How bad can it get?
I noticed hadn't cleared my search history or cookies all year when a recent search on my computer for BAD APPLE CHINESE resulted in and a search for AMVs in general included Bill Whittle videos.
No doubt someone to the left of me would be getting Obama hymns and such.
It can be somewhat mitigated by clearing ones search history and all cookies periodically.
On the political level this means that getting people to change their minds about things political is going to be even more of a herculean task than is discussed here, here, here and here.
On a rather more profound level it cannot be good for the nations polarization or getting people to change their minds about important things like immunizations and GM foods.
This is a huge structural problem, but I'm at a loss as to what to do about it.
