Roughly eight-in-ten U.S. adults think social media sites actively censor political viewpoints they disagree with. This belief is more widespread among Republicans (93%), but the share of Democrats who hold this view is growing (74%, up from 66% in 2022). https://t.co/0sRWb5p2ea
Democrats are more supportive of increased government oversight of major tech companies (60%) than are Republicans (45%). But these differences have not always been large. In 2020, similar shares of Republicans (48%) and Democrats (46%) favored more regulation.
Republicans widely believe that major tech companies have a pro-liberal bias. By contrast, the most commonly held view among Democrats is that technology companies support the views of conservatives and liberals equally. https://t.co/nbsNsKOJhk
When it comes to government oversight of major tech companies, about half of Americans believe these companies should be regulated more than they are now.
Majorities in both political parties see social media’s impact on the country negatively, though Republicans remain more wary than Democrats (71% vs. 59%).
Americans are far more likely to say social media has a negative rather than positive impact on the country. Roughly two-thirds (64%) think social media has a mostly negative effect, with only 10% describing social media’s impact as mostly positive. https://t.co/nbsNsKOJhk
Most Americans – including a growing number of Democrats – believe social media companies wield too much political power and likely censor political viewpoints they object to. https://t.co/AfBEnO6x8S
Younger people are far more likely than older people to use social media, including specific social media sites. For example, in India, three-quarters of 18- to 29-year-olds use WhatsApp, compared with only 17% of those ages 50 and older. https://t.co/imKgtTX7ao
