I certainly agree with your view here. There is no doubt in my mind every search engine that customizes search results provides an ever increasing polarization of views as its search results develope an ever tightening focus on an individual's pre-existing views. People don't often realize this unfortunate consequence of technology and need to address it in their lives and information sources.
