But according to our own Eli Pariser, the Internet itself is changing. His book on the topic,<span>�</span><i>The Filter Bubble</i>, comes out this week (you can<span>�</span><a href="http://www.moveon.org/r?r=208553&id=27429-6861376-sKISpOx&t=1" target="_blank">check it out here</a>).</div>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">In March, the TED conference invited him to preview the argument. When I talked to Eli beforehand, he was really nervous�in the audience were top executives from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and a number of other companies he critiques. But his call for an open, ethical Internet�he actually called out the Google founders and Bill Gates in the audience by name�got a standing ovation. And it's been burning up the TED website ever since.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">We're sharing it today because we think it's a really important point.<b><span>�</span>Increasingly, the Internet is hiding things from us, and we don't even know it.</b><span>�</span>Take a moment to watch Eli's TED talk today:�</p>

"You spend half your life in Internet space, but trust me�you don't understand how it works. Eli Pariser's book is a masterpiece of both investigation and interpretation; he exposes the way we're sent down particular information tunnels, and he explains how we might once again find ourselves in a broad public square of ideas. This couldn't be a more interesting book; it casts an illuminating light on so many of our daily encounters."</div>

<div><br></div><div>It's not a given that the Internet will remain fertile ground for democracy. We need to make sure it does, and Eli's argument is an important part of that fight.</div><div><br></div><div></div>
