According to a poll conducted by NBC News, nearly two-thirds of Americans (64%) believe social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are dividing America. In comparison, only 27% believe they are bringing America together.
News Max reports more details:
When this question was last asked in March two years ago, 57% said social media platforms do more to divide the nation, while 35% said they do more to unite.
Despite these feelings overall towards social media, 66% say they use it once a day or more, while 33% don’t, figures which are essentially unchanged from when the same question was asked in 2018 and 2019.
