Abstract

This study examines the mechanisms of echo chamber formation, its impact on social networks and possible consequences for people and society. In particular, the focus is on issues such as how algorithms used in social media enhance the echo chamber, the role of cognitive biases in this process, and the impact of social approval on the echo chamber
