Digital Privacy and Personalization
Many digital platforms (like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) personalize your search results and the other information that you see. This personalization is based on information that they know about you, including but not limited to your location, search history, age, gender, personal interests and preferences, and other information they can gather about you. This personalization may at times be helpful; at other times it may not be, such as when it creates a "filter bubble" in which you don't see a more complete picture of the information available on a given issue.
