Summary:
The online echo-chamber effect is a phenomenon in which beliefs that are far from common sense are strengthened within relatively small communities formed within online social networks. Since it is significantly degrading social activities in the real world, we should understand how the echo-chamber effect arises in an engineering framework to realize countermeasure technologies. This paper proposes a model of the online echo-chamber effect by introducing the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking to the oscillation model framework used for describing online user dynamics.
