Abstract

The research is based on the phenomenon of constantly emerging echo chambers on social media that have created significant and huge damage to online communities. The formation of echo chambers seems to be unavoidable. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the development of modern echo chambers, especially on social media, and the existence of intentionally manipulated echo chambers used to gain profit or political power, such as “fake news”. The research object is social media echo chambers, and it attempts to approach them and the social media users who are in echo chambers using psychology. The paper is simply based on research on the Internet with a possible experiment (a hypothesis) that could be carried out to discover if there is a necessary correlation between the attitude inside of an echo chamber effect and the growth of it. It is unclear for now whether the echo chamber’s growth is relevant to attitudes, but it is certain that the echo chamber is gradually distorting views of users through group polarization and group think.
