Research appears to confirm the existence of an "echo chamber" effect in UK politics, in which social media users are more likely to engage with people and media sources that share their political beliefs.
While the Political elite, the globalist establishment and the bias mainstream media are still scratching their heads wondering why people no longer listen to their expensive propaganda, the rest of us are grabbing the real news media from Facebook.
The Sky article has been written with propaganda and bias too. Check it out
"The study found that supporters of the SNP and UKIP were much less likely to engage with people holding different beliefs, or to tweet material from outlets with opposing editorial stances"
"Conservative and Labour supporters were more likely to engage with users outside their group."
of course. Because people who support the SNP and UKIP have never supported any other party have they? Sounds like a discriminatory statement and a shallow attempt to bring support back to the establishment controlled parties.
"We have to be able to compromise, we have to able to read and accept and understand opposing views. We even need a shared concept of what is true.
in other words, trying to suggest that people should follow subjects that do not interest them. those people who are not interested in opposing political beliefs are somehow in the wrong?

social media platforms "bear great responsibility" for the effect.
"They are using only these algorithms to feed us with stories that are completely tailored to us. That doesn't allow us to explore diversity to explore another opinion. That makes us develop a very limited tunnel vision of reality, of products, of ideology, of political stances.
But I bet, if they were plugging the EU to everyone or it was the BBC shoving half truths down our throats, he wouldn't have a problem with it?
Good luck with that one!
Who funded this pointless study that has produced obvious findings? Three Guesses!
