we’ve become an echo chamber: we hear only voices like our own, expressing points of view we already agree with. People who believe other things fall silent or abandon the conversation or are reduced to impotent rage.


Disclose the amount paid to Q2 Consulting, Sue, and then we'll let you start taking credit for your cogent interpretations of what's going on all around you, on your watch.

I think this is ridiculous. Sue is wrong. The WMF is not an echo chamber. It is a minority bully pulpit for the fringe. The content filter survey verified that the majority disagrees with the view on pornographic images, yet the minority is the one given all the power.
