Polarization is a growing, global problem. As such, many social media based solutions have been proposed in order to reduce it. In this study, we propose a new solution that recommends topics to celebrities to encourage them to join a polarized debate and increase exposure to contrarian content - bursting the filter bubble. Using a state-of-the art model that quantifies the degree of polarization, this paper makes a first attempt to empirically answer the question: Can celebrities burst filter bubbles? We use a case study to analyze how people react when celebrities are involved in a controversial topic and conclude with a list possible research directions.

名人能打破你的泡沫吗？

极化是一个日益严重的全球性问题。因此，已经提出了许多基于社交媒体的解决方案以减少它。在这项研究中，我们提出了一种新的解决方案，向名人推荐话题，以鼓励他们加入两极分化的辩论并增加对逆向内容的曝光——打破过滤泡沫。本文使用量化极化程度的最先进模型，首次尝试从经验上回答这个问题：名人能否打破过滤器泡沫？我们使用案例研究来分析当名人卷入有争议的话题时人们的反应，并列出可能的研究方向。
