I believe exactly this to happen. Combine this with Confirmation bias[1] and Recency effect[2] and you have the typical echo chamber effect (be it Google showing fitting results, be it FB with the algorithm or be it the partisane media.
So your views will get bolstered. You will think you are talking within a big group of likeminded people, because differing strains of thoughts never reach you.
And if you combine this with a debate like in Germany, where FB is being asked to proactively delete/censor* more stuff, this might become a bigger problem.
* Not that I like the stuff to be censored particularly - definitively on the contrary. Just pointing out the effect.
