Query: The Paradox of Information Access: Growing Isolation in the Age of
  Sharing   Modern online media, such as Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, enable anyone
to become an information producer and to offer online content for potentially
global consumption. By increasing the amount of globally accessible real-time
information, today's ubiquitous producers contribute to a world, where an
individual consumes vanishingly smaller fractions of all produced content. In
general, consumers preferentially select information that closely matches their
individual views and values. The bias inherent in such selection is further
magnified by today's information curation services that maximize user
engagement (and thus service revenue) by filtering new content in accordance
with observed consumer preferences. Consequently, individuals get exposed to
increasingly narrower bands of the ideology spectrum. Societies get fragmented
into increasingly ideologically isolated enclaves. These enclaves (or
echo-chambers) then become vulnerable to misinformation spread, which in turn
further magnifies polarization and bias. We call this dynamic the paradox of
information access; a growing ideological fragmentation in the age of sharing.
This article describes the technical, economic, and socio-cognitive
contributors to this paradox, and explores research directions towards its
mitigation.
