Do you think social media sites have a partisan slant when moderating/censoring content?

👍 Yes (64%) – “All major tech companies are headquartered in the West Coast, where it’s majority liberal. Even if the company holds a non-affiliation stance, most of their employees are biased, and the features and policies are at the least mirroring their beliefs.”

👎 No (21%) – “I think people see social media sites as censoring more conservative users because those users (as a group) are posting more questionable/ harmful content.”

😬 Unsure/Other (15%) – “Social media companies don’t actually care about politics, they care about engagement. While their methodology is imperfect, they’re not censoring certain topics, but rather certain *behaviors* that result in lower engagement (i.e., misinformation).”
