The term 'filter bubble' gained prominence after Eli Pariser's 2011 TED talk and book. It has become increasingly relevant in discussions about misinformation, political polarization, and social media literacy in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, the concept is particularly discussed in the context of WhatsApp groups and algorithmic content on platforms like Facebook and TikTok, where personalization can intensify existing political divisions.
