what information you are not seeing on the internet every day?

Google and Facebook mean that we don’t know what we’re missing

Have you ever thought about what information you are not seeing on the internet every day?

Have you ever considered how your search queries may yield totally different results to your brother, husband or mum?

Last year Eli Pariser delivered a powerful speech at the annual TED conference about the dangers of the 'filter bubble', a concept he penned a great book about, and the censorship of information by the internet giants such as Google and Facebook.

“Your filter bubble is your own personal, unique universe of information that you live in online. What’s in your filter bubble depends on who you are, and it depends on what you do. But you don’t decide what gets in — and more importantly, you don’t see what gets edited out,” he said.

A video of this excellent nine-minute talk has been doing the rounds on the web again this week, after Google was found tracking the web-browsing habits of millions of iPhone users
without their consent and was also accused by Microsoft of bypassing its Internet Explorer browser's privacy protections.

Google argues that it is simply making its services work for the millions of users who have signed up for them.

The issue Eli Pareiser takles through his speech is of great importance to internet users. One has to say : "Nothing is sure on the net" and "Insecurity has become the prevalent risk on on our kids as well as ourselves"
