Public Relations slang for the tactic of repeating some fake factoid so loudly and so often that many people start to believe it. It is even more effective if public figures and celebrities are used in the echo chamber.
This technique was used for years to debunk those who noted the first signs of climate change.
the echo chamber was used for years by the tabacco industry to deny the health effects of smoking.

an insular communication space where everyone agrees with the information and no outside input is allowed
The broadcast is just another echo chamber for self serving interests.

A phenomenon partly fueled by human's tendency for confirmation bias.
Echo chamber is an environment where a person only surrounds themselves with information that aligns or supports their existing belief/opinion, which only further reinforces their beliefs/opinion and becoming a vicious cycle.
It is one that greatly contributes to the polarization of people in social media.
And with the help of algorithms applied by social medias. This phenomenon becomes far more easy to fall into since it brings people to find like-minded communities and feed them the same thing over and over again.
Echo chamber is one of the reasons why 'factions' exist amongst societies. When you are inside an echo chamber, you are only expose to the best side of your beliefs and the worst side of your opposite beliefs. And this only leads to everyone thinking that 'the other side' is dumb and has no logic.
Echo Chamber is a poison that you should escape from. It is one of the major blocks that hinders critical thinking and discourages people from questioning their own beliefs/assumptions.This only leads to stagnation and ultimately, a lack of progress.
Bad examples:
-Climate Change is not real
-earth is flat'
Good examples:
-the belief that environmental issues are the biggest issues we are currently facing and those that don't care is considered ignorant or uncaring.
-strict gun control. Pro-Gun vs Anti-Gun
-abortion issues. Pro-Life vs Pro-Choice
-Echo Chamber in effect-
First example: Pro-Life vs Pro-Choice
"Abortion is the taking of innocent life and goes against the fundamental right to life."
"Denying women access to abortion forces them to carry unwanted pregnancies, which can have serious physical, emotional, and financial consequences."
Second Example: Pro-Tate vs Anti-Tate
-"Andrew Tate is a bully who uses his platform to spread hate speech and promote toxic masculinity." (anti-Tate)
-"Andrew Tate is just telling it like it is. The truth hurts, and that's why people are so triggered by him." (pro-Tate)
-"Andrew Tate is a misogynistic and racist influencer who uses shock tactics and controversy to gain attention and followers." (anti-Tate)
-"Andrew Tate is a confident and outspoken personality who isn't afraid to speak his mind, which is refreshing in today's overly politically correct society." (pro-Tate)

A person who totally, obsequiously agrees with everything another person says.
“During the meeting my boss Jeremy calls on Jason, who’s a well-known management echo chamber to ask if Jason thinks the Company’s new and much stricter internet policy is a fair one. The rest of us spend the remainder of the meeting retching at the resultant tsunami of blatant ass-smooching.”

An environment where a (negative) behavior is encouraged or normalized, causing multiple individuals to adopt the normalized behavior, resulting in an echo chamber. When the behavior is shown outside, it is generally frowned upon.
Did you hear that Rob was stuck in that cult, how could that happen?
I guess he was just stuck in an echo chamber.

A place where everyone shares one opinion and anyone who disagrees gets pushed out; a circlejerk.
Reddit, Tumblr, Urban Dictionary, and many other websites are all left-wing echo chambers.
