We are living in a time when many Americans prefer to get their news in small bites from social media recommendations, rather than from the more in depth analysis of legitimate news organizations. But we now know that this reliance creates what are known as information “filter bubbles” where we only see news we agree with and are never exposed to alternative or opposing views. I am more and more convinced that gathering information solely from social media is leading to some pretty terrible outcomes and few groups are more vulnerable to the negative repercussions of this than teenagers.
