exacerbating existing
inequalities.
ECHO CHAMBERS AND
FILTER BUBBLES

echo chambers, where
individuals are exposed only to
information that aligns with their
existing beliefs and preferences.
This can lead to polarization and
limited exposure to diverse
perspectives.
CYBERBULLYING AND
ONLINE HARASSMENT

of online platforms can give rise
to cyberbullying, trolling, and
online harassment, impacting

and sharing digital content has
raised challenges related to
