Seriously though the main reason we're so politically fractured now and probably headed for a civil war is because of the tailored search result algorithms and their descendants creating feedback loops that then grew into atomically sealed social media echo chambers. Google for the first several years returned un-differentiated service so e.g. you could share a search query with someone completely demographically unrelated on the other side of the planet and they'd get the exact same search result (and ads). One day they flipped a switch and google started watching you back. All for your benefit, of course. To serve you results (and ads) relevant to your past queries and other internet activity that they at that point had only in a dim and vague sense started to track.
