# Eli Pariser ![[50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/2026-02-12 Eli Pariser.jpg|400]] Eli Pariser (1980–) is an American internet activist and author who coined the term "[[Filter Bubbles]]" in his influential 2011 book *The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You*. He warned that personalized [[Algorithmic Curation]] creates invisible information bubbles, showing users only content that reinforces their existing views and limiting exposure to diverse perspectives. Pariser co-founded Upworthy and served as executive director of MoveOn.org. His work shaped public discourse on how search engines and social media algorithms affect democracy and civic engagement. He connects to [[Tristan Harris]]'s tech ethics movement and broader concerns about [[Echo Chambers]], [[Attention Economy]], and platform accountability. ## Quotes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[Eli Pariser]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> ## Books <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/book AND [[Eli Pariser]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> ## Related - [[Tristan Harris]] - [[Filter Bubbles]] - [[Echo Chambers]] - [[Algorithmic Curation]] ## References - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Pariser
