Abstract
Information access systems — such as search engines and social media — filter, sort, and otherwise control the content that people are exposed to. Uncritical consumption of information online can lead to extremism, cognitive bias, etc., so it is crucial for people to question the information with which they are presented. It is even more important in the case of young people, as they start learning about the world and form their own opinions. Therefore it is important that people are made aware of how information access systems function, and the related potential risks of uncritical consumption of information. We propose an interactive tool to encourage critical consumption of online information, that acts also as a research tool on the experience and knowledge of people in relation to information access systems.
