POLL: Most Democrats Now Favor Social Media Censorship

The majority of Democrat voters want censorship on social media.

According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey, 51% of American adults believe that social media giants like Facebook and Twitter should allow free speech without any form of censorship.

This marks a notable decline from 61% in January 2018.  

35% now believe it’s better for social media companies to micromanage what’s posted on social media platforms to ensure people are not offended. This is an increase from 2018, when support for increased regulation was only at 23% in 2018.

While a majority of Americans still think social media sites should permit free speech, most Democrats want companies like Twitter and Facebook to regulate content on their platforms.
