This is what filter bubbles actually look like

Maps of Twitter activity show how political polarization manifests online and why divides are so hard to bridge.

by John Kelly and Camille François August 22, 2018

 

The first of the two maps in the GIF image below shows the US political spectrum on the eve of the 2016 election.

The second map highlights the followers of a 30-something American woman called Jenna Abrams,

a following gained with her viral tweets about slavery, segregation, Donald Trump, and Kim Kardashian.

Her far-right views endeared her to conservatives, and her entertaining shock tactics won her attention from several mainstream media outlets

and got her into public spats with prominent people on Twitter, including a former US ambassador to Russia.

Her following in the right-wing Twittersphere enabled her to influence the broader political conversation. In reality, she was one of many fake personas created by the infamous St.

Petersburg troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency.
