The social media bubble is a modern concept that describes the situation in which someone lives who is exposed to the same opinions and ideas - political, social, etc. - whose ideas he supports and are in harmony with. It seems as if he is living in a bubble from which he does not emerge. This happens a lot among Internet users, as social media algorithms and search engines help to show the content. Similar to what they saw and interacted with previously. There is another concept related to it called echo chambers, which refers to the situation in which ideas are amplified and reinforced through repetition, resulting in a rigid belief in those ideas and a lack of trust in anything coming from outside them.
