It is the same filter bubble that leads an employee to triumphantly proclaim "Remember, what Facebook is doing has never been done before. There are going to be mistakes." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19321420 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19321420 It reminded me of this classic tweet: https://twitter.com/emilylindin/status/933073784822579200?lang=en https://twitter.com/emilylindin/status/933073784822579200?la...

This tweet is absolutely ridiculous, but sadly at the same time represents a non minor opinion.

I wonder why we need to justify everything as a fault of a "filter bubble". Can't it be that these are bad/selfish/self-absorbed people?

  Self-absorption and selfishness at the expense of others is a “filter bubble” that seems popular these days. While you could probably construct an argument that this slang isn’t the best description, that’s no reason to stop using it as shorthand for “a subgroup of modern social culture whose values are locally aligned but contrast with those otherwise proximal to them, whether physically or culturally”. Being selfish does not imply that you are a member of a local ‘cult’ of selfishness, so a group-focused slang will be required if you seek to replace that usage of filter bubble.

"Sorry. If some innocent men's reputations have to take a hit in the process of undoing the patriarchy, that is a price I am absolutely willing to pay." That woman is mental, I would far rather 10 guilty people go free as opposed to having 1 innocent person punished. Thankfully she doesn't run our legal systems, typical feminist moron.
