British tech comedian Tom Scott is out with a new sci-fi satire video about The Bubble, hypothetical software that could filter out what you don’t want to see online before you even see it.
The Bubble works as a virtual private network operating 1,000 times faster than your brain to block what offends you, according to Scott’s video.
While some commenters on the video want the imagined technology to come to life, others argued more seriously that it might be a dangerous way for people to block out controversial opinions.
