“…From this point of view, in terms of religious information, we have to consider a strong bubble, a strong membrane. This is confirmed by the research of Zakaria and his colleagues who investigated the relationship between the filter bubble and religion in an Islamic religious environment in Indonesia (Zakaria et al 2018). They also agree that in the perspective of religious phenomenology, technology is not neutral but human formation, as well as allowing the gap it can affect humans.…”

The aim of the study is to present the online processes related to religious phenomena appearing on digital platforms, primarily the practice of content filtering (gatekeeping, echo chamber, filter bubble), and a critical review of the scientific literature on the field. At the same time, the goal is to create a theoretical introduction to the special issue and a comprehensive examination of the scientific context. For the first time, the study shows that, in terms of media content, filtering can appear from two directions. One is the selections from different events by professional journalists during content creation. The media theoretical literature refers to this aspect as the phenomenon of gatekeeping. Filtering in the other direction takes place on the part of the receivers, who choose from among the available media contents. This phenomenon has already been described by several media scholars, with the concept of selective exposure (Klapper), Daily Me (Negroponte), echo chamber (Sunstein) or filter bubble (Pariser). Focusing on the phenomenon of the filter bubble, the study presents this theory, its criticism and its relevance to religious content and religious communities. The second part of the study focuses on religious filter bubbles and presents the related investigations so far. It analyses in detail the document published by the Catholic Church on 28 May 2023, entitled Towards Full Presence, Pastoral Reflection on Engagement with Social Media. During the detailed analytical presentation of the text, the study covers how the opportunities and dangers of network communication and the use of social media appear (including the filter bubble) and what solutions the Catholic Church proposes in this regard.

“…The latter point also highlights another feature of online communities: they allow agents to present themselves as community members in any way they want. As we will further 3 A brief list of reasons why the filter bubble has been deemed harmful for individuals and communities: because it can fuel political, religious, and other kinds of extremism (O'Callaghan et al 2013;Bozdag et al 2014;Zakaria et al 2018); various studies have proved that it is surely behind the diffusion of fake news (Arfini 2019; DiFranzo and Gloria 2017; Spratt and Agosto 2017); some have argued that is probably one of the factors that determine political affiliations and low disposition to change (Bozdag and van den Hoven 2015; Bozdag 2015; Spohr 2017). comment, the interface of online communities affords (Gibson 1977;Nagy and Neff 2015;Arfini et al 2017) particular actions of self-profiling and self-discovery that are rarely at disposal in the offline world.…”

How have online communities affected the ways their users construct, view, and define their identity? In this paper, we will approach this issue by considering two philosophical sets of problems related to personal identity: the “Characterization Question” and the “Self-Other Relations Question.” Since these queries have traditionally brought out different problems around the concept of identity, here we aim at rethinking them in the framework of online communities. To do so, we will adopt an externalist and cognitive point of view on online communities, describing them as virtual cognitive niches. We will evaluate and agree with the Attachment Theory of Identity, arguing that there is continuity between offline and online identity and that usually the latter contributes to the alteration of the former. Finally, we will discuss ways users can enact self-reflection on online frameworks, considering the impact of the Filter Bubble and the condition of Bad Faith.

“…This phenomenon gives birth to an alienated perspective because he feels trapped in a bubble that can only see his point of view without looking at other people's opinions. This reality has the potential to give birth to a monoperspective virtual society; it only deifies its perspective and defines reality based on one point of view (Zakaria, Busro, & Furqon, 2018).…”

Indonesia has a federation organization that brings together several Islamic organizations. This organization is known as the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). One of his duties is to issue Islamic legal fatwas to serve as guidelines for the Muslim community. However, on a practical level, quite a few fatwas give rise to polemics. In several cases of intolerance and mobilization of political interests, MUI fatwas are often used as a means of legitimation. This article wants to discuss the contestation of the MUI fatwa with the dynamics of Islamic thought in Indonesia in the context of the digital era. Data was obtained from online news documents regarding MUI fatwas in several cases with social problems. This research found that the MUI fatwa polemic arose due to the need to consider Indonesia's social setting and political conditions. Hence, Islamic law products were prone to being misused and misunderstood. This study also argues that the MUI authorities must package the fatwa by prioritizing cultural diversity, social impacts, and political tensions at that time. Thus, the MUI fatwa must be formulated apart from being based on scientific grounds and supported by good online media infrastructure. So they will be better able to contest with the new religious authority in the post-truth era. Good fatwa packaging via social media is also oriented towards finding substantial values in responding to community problems based on the principle of uniting the community (tauhid al-ummah) and protecting the community (himayat al-ummah).
