Unfortunately, you're bubbling away people who believe in free speech and free thought as well, and there are probably a lot more of those.
edit: Adding a bit more, the people being bubbled away will likely tend to just isolate. You might think you like that idea, but having spent some time in isolation, I will attest that it kind of messes with your head. You lose your "phase lock" with society on a lot of different norms, small and large. The stereotype of the "dangerous loner", though not always fair, attests to this reality.
If you want to keep someone as a useful member of society and not a tragedy-of-the-day, you have to keep talking to them.
Technically this is not even bubbling, at least not how google implemented it, as I understand. Im not on Twitter but if anyone knows, does this action by twitter actually bubble Trump away form people who otherwise would have seen his feed?
And by freedom of speech and thought, how about for twitter? Arent’t they a private company?
It seems that this freedom of speech and thought is such a vague concept that gets twisted and turned according to whoever wants to make a point. Let’s have a definition to what exactly it is to cover and then we’ll talk. And no goalpost moving after the definition please:)
But then the people who are open to such things stay exposed, while detaching from anyone else, thus ensuring that they spiral ever further into their own viewpoint. That's how you create radicals.
Yeah, bubbling is not a magic solution. But why amplify these voices? And why on your “private” platform? A lot of unchecked toxicity can lead to Twitters demise. They set some rules to mitigate for that. Seems ok to me for that to be done for Trumps opponents too.
Remember trolls wreaking havoc on forums? Didn’t they have the right for free speech too and nobody complained when rules were added to try to contain them?

Anyone who feels like they're in a filter bubble can easily make another Twitter account to explore different perspectives.
What if they are but just don’t feel like it?

Can't challenge ideas if you are so afraid that you hide them.
The only way to actually change someone is conversation.
Only those who don't want honest change fight to prevent actual conversation from happening.
bubbling is radicalism
