I would like a visible toggle switch for the filter. It's ok to filter stuff out but I'd like to know what the generic result looks like. Of course, that might be a philosophical mess because what exactly is the right algorithmic balance? Still, the toggle would create awareness about the extent of the information filter. The real danger of a filter is people thinking that their version of the news is the best version.
Random aside: one of the most annoying happenstances of the modern interweb is the prevalence of those ads that follow you around especially because they're really poor at being relevant.

- FilterJoe 15y agoCan already toggle by opening up a second browser that you never use (and you clear cookies and history after each use). You'll still get geographic filtering but little else. Webmasters do this all the time when checking out how well individual pages rank for various keywords. Of course, your idea of a visible toggle switch is far more user friendly. EDIT: added "history"
