“Do the operators of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter edit their content in a fair and balanced way, or are they politically biased in the decisions they make?”

Nationally, 59% of likely U.S. Voters believe editors at social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are politically biased in the decisions they make, results of a new Rasmussen Reports survey show.

Majorities of men (60%), women (57%), conservatives (74%), moderates (52%), whites (62%), blacks (52%), other races (60%) and all income groups say that social media platforms edit content in a politically-based manner. In contrast, just 31% of liberals say political bias influences social media editing.
