<p>Both Democrats and Republicans have soured on social media, as Republicans <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/technology/facebook-twitter-meet-with-gop-on-censorship-of-conservatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>have claimed</u>censorship of conservative voices</a>, and Democrats have complained about the use of targeted ads that they say can be used to discriminate against minorities.</p>
<p>Nine percent more Democrats believe social media hurts free speech than last year, and 17 percent more Republicans feel that way, the poll said.</p>
<p>Overall, however, 63 percent of U.S. adults 18 and older say that social media plays a positive role in their lives, and 40 percent say social media has a positive affect on society.</p>
