Siva Vaidyanathan

In this discussion, Eli Pariser, an author and online organizer, joins journalist Jacob Weisberg, writer Evgeny Morozov, and media scholar Siva Vaidyanathan to tackle the question of whether the internet is narrowing our political perspectives. They dive into how algorithms create filter bubbles, making it easier to find like-minded views. Pariser argues that personalization limits exposure, while Weisberg counters that the internet broadens information access. The panel also debates the implications of confirmation bias and the evolving nature of online discourse.
