    I get how there are people who don’t follow politics, but man… how do you avoid news like this?

    In my experience, with so much option offered by the Internet, an individual could easily curate the type of information they’re consuming and exclude others.

    I’m aware of targeted ads and algorithm having some influence, but overall the internet still offers better freedom of choice than TV, radio and newspaper would have offered. But the problem with this is people curating only what they want to see and making their own personal informational bubble. Seeing what people only want to see, especially ones that comfort them. That’s why too many people are unaware on certain things.
