Safe Spaces: Shelters or Tribes?
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- By making our lives more transparent than ever, technology exposes our behavior to an audience that is less like-minded than that in our private sphere. In reaction, we change our behavior. Or we incur costs to join safe spaces: reduced use of public spaces and forgone diversity and opportunities when selecting our social graph. This paper provides a framework for thinking about the endogeneity of our private sphere in environments in which issues are divisive (politics, religion, sexuality, antagonistic social views…). It studies the emergence of safe spaces of like-minded individuals and their societal consequences.
