We are bombarded and over-exposed to certain sensationalist themes and media narratives.
It's almost impossible for anyone to come up with their own ideas/views/opinions with the kind of narrative feeding we get on a daily basis. I know 'giving up the internet' and/or not visiting certain websites could alleviate this issue some what but it led me to thinking.....
Is there a way to self-censor the data you receive?
eg. If someone finds it counter-productive/unhelpful to hear about 'terrorism' on a daily basis, is it possible to block anything associated with this from your internet viewing without having to restrict the websites you visit?
A lot of people are becoming aware of their over-exposure to other's sensationalist ideas and may be looking for a solution/more control of their data absorption habits....
Does anyone else want a filter/ more control over your internet viewing?
Any ideas on how this can be done?
There are website and content blockers that may be useful to you. Those blockers are made especially for children so they cannot watch pornographic and violent filled and graphic sites. This kind of software may be helpful to you but as you are an adult you just need to disallow and block manually the sites that you hate and turn-off pop ups that automatically opens links that you dont want to open.
