After I read these three articles, I have some new insights about information disorder and filter bubbles. First of all, the beginning of the article caught my attention a lot, "we live in a age of information disorder". This is the point of the whole article, and it is also the introduction to the following content. Information disorder consists of three parts, namely misinformation, disinformation and malinformation. They all have their own uses and purposes. I think the seven types of misinformation and disinformation all achieve the purpose of harming, damaging one's reputation or slandering them by different means. The one that stands out to me the most is the managed content, several examples of how the media can recklessly modify their original news content to make it political. And these remind me of the differences between Western media and Eastern media. In China, these political content will definitely not pass the censorship before it is published. And each piece of news will be reviewed for reliability and authenticity before it is published, so as not to cause public panic or other psychological concerns. I think the reason the US is relaxing its censorship of the media is because it will do whatever it takes to make money and exert political influence to achieve its goals. And the second article is about how filtering bubbles distort reality, which, in my opinion, means big data capture in layman's terms. What we search for, what we see when we browse the page, is what the algorithm observer wants us to see. To give an example of myself, I often swipe tiktok, and often stay on the page of car bloggers or like and comment on their video content, so every time I open tiktok. Will always recommend car content to me, and constantly agree with a video blogger's view on cars. This can cause you to fall into or be confined to this filtering bubble. “Your computer monitor is a kind of one-way mirror, reflecting your own interests while algorithmic observers watch what you click”. I agree and love this quote. Media literacy training increases the individuals' doubt about the media content. After all, the existence of the individuals with high media literacy leads to increase in the media quality because such individuals require more realistic messages of higher quality.
