They try and pick out news stories we are interested in as well as taylor search results using these data. It’s gotten to the point where most of our news feeds are dominated by media and info that meets our confirmation bias. The psychological ramifications are problematic for people that don't realize that social media and personalization services will create an echo chamber.

Social media shouldn't make me "prefer" or "tailor," at all. That's the entire problem.
As soon as they entered into marketing, and now into thought policing, it was all over.
If it was still just a public forum that I had complete control over what I saw and when I saw it, and all the channels that fed it, that would be fine. But that's not what social media is anymore. All of the artificial customization and tailoring that happens is precisely the problem, because those in charge realized how powerful that is.
