Well the problem I'm trying to point out is that yes it is a fundamentally human problem. The problem is that a machine is amplifying this. There is a curation of content that is personal that may lock you harder in the filter bubble than a newspaper trying to cater to a wide audience. To cater to wider audience occasionally the newspaper will contain something that outside of your safe little bubble. It is a bigger chance that you expand and/or evolve your views because of this. Of course the option is to be closed minded, but that is a choice by the reader and not the social media platform which do it for you automatically to keep you using the platform.
We are independently blaming every social media platform for what is, fundamentally, a human problem.
