A recent survey reveals that 87% of Americans believe social media platforms like Meta (formerly known as Facebook) have a significant impact on election outcomes. This statistic comes amidst discussions about the role of social media in political processes. The survey also found that 62% of respondents think that these platforms should be more transparent about their content moderation policies. Furthermore, 55% of those surveyed expressed concerns over the potential for these platforms to censor political content, which could sway election results. These figures highlight the growing public scrutiny over how social media giants manage political speech and information during critical times like elections.
