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). pewrsr.ch/3QrQJRk
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. pewrsr.ch/3UJ8MoE
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.
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. pewrsr.ch/3UJ8MoE
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. pewrsr.ch/3WgbQtL
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. pewrsr.ch/3TR3lT8
The share of employed Americans who have used ChatGPT for tasks at work increased from 8% in March 2023 to 20% in February 2024, including an 8-point increase since July. pewrsr.ch/3xxe51u

ALT A bar chart showing that Americans consistently say generative AI programs should give credit to their sources.
Whether an author is living or dead has little impact on public attitudes: 65% say credit is needed if AI programs imitate the writing style of a famous author who died many years ago.
Similarly, about six-in-ten say generative AI programs should have to credit the sources they rely on if they draft a movie script in the style of a popular movie.
