Increasing homophily leads people to be exposed to a narrow set of beliefs that conform to their existing beliefs.
“Increasing homophily leads to situations where people are exposed to a narrow set of beliefs (Acemoglu et al., 2011(Acemoglu et al., , 2010) ) that conforms to their existing beliefs.”

“In addition to the papers on learning mentioned above, our paper is related to work on consensus, which is motivated by different problems, but typically leads to a similar mathematical formulation (Tsitsiklis [39], Tsitsiklis, Bertsekas and Athans [40], Jadbabaie, Lin and Morse [27], Olfati-Saber and Murray [30], Ols…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
