So should I be prevented from following only anti-capitalistic people on twitter or only following right wing subreddits? Should people also be banned from subscribing only to a single newspaper versus a mix of newspapers with different political leanings? What about looking at only socialist web pages that link to other such web pages. Should web pages we forced to link to pages with other political leanings?

No, that's not what I meant. More that it should be a conscious decision to knowingly consume content with a particular bias - as you do when you pick up a certain newspaper or turn over to a specific tv channel, as opposed to being algorithmically presented with a stream of content that may veer in a direction without you being aware.
