In some ways Google and Facebook already create echo chambers as they personalize your search results or your feed trying to maximize "user engagement".

True, and moreover the internet itself promotes the creation of echo chambers because it's very easy to choose only those sources of information which confirm your existing views and beliefs.

I think it's a pretty serious problem and one that we should try to not make any worse.
