Life

Pariser received his BA in Law and Political Science from Bard College at Simon's Rock with Summa Cum Laude.

He became known as a political activist when he and college student David H. Pickering organized an online petition for a non-military response to the 9/11 attacks . At the time, he helped develop the program for the non-profit organization More Than Money . In less than a month, more than a million people had signed the petition. In November of that year, Moveon.org founders Wes Boyd and Joan Blades asked Pariser to join the organization.

During the 2004 presidential campaign , Parisians organized the Bush in 30 Seconds video clip competition, helping raise more than $ 30 million in campaign funds. The funds raised were used to support progressive and Democratic candidates . In an article for the New York Times magazine, journalist George Packer identified MoveOn as the mainstream element in the fastest growing protest movement in American history.

While researching on the Internet, Pariser found that when searching with the help of search engines, different results are to be seen, whereby these are based on the previous searches. People with a more liberal orientation get different search results than conservatives if they use Google , Facebook or Yahoo to search the Internet using a certain search term . So possibly z. For example, a liberal searches for “BP” with results on oil pollution in the Gulf of Mexico , while the conservative receives information about the company for investors . Because of this fact, Pariser developed the term “ filter bubble ”, which is also the title of his book, in which he points out the danger that people will no longer be confronted with points of view other than their own.
