There are definitely vacuum chambers that form, but I'd be hesitant to generalize the overall effect. Does the increased access to points of view override the insular effect of seeking out like-minded thinkers? Additionally, is it all bad that some people find support on the Internet that allows them to become firmer in their beliefs? If a homosexual boy finds support on the Internet for his feelings that he otherwise doesn't get in his real-life social environment - is that a bad thing?
