Hereof, what are filter bubbles when do they appear?
A filter bubble is the intellectual isolation that can occur when websites make use of algorithms to selectively assume the information a user would want to see, and then give information to the user according to this assumption.
Even though people searched at the same time, people were shown different sources, even after accounting for location. Private browsing mode and being logged out of Google offered very little filter bubble protection. In fact, it's simply not possible to use Google search and avoid its filter bubble.
