“If America was giving social media a Yelp review, a majority would give it zero stars,” Roberts added. Sixty-one percent think social media does more to spread unfair attacks and rumors against public figures and corporations, compared with 32 percent who say it does more to hold those public figures and corporations accountable.
The negative attitudes about social media are shared by Democrats, Republicans, men, women, urban residents and rural ones. Overall, 36 percent of adults view Facebook positively, while 33 percent see it negatively. And Twitter’s rating is 24 percent positive, 27 percent negative. That’s compared with 36 percent who believe that technology has more drawbacks than benefits, because it means workers are being replaced by robots and computers.
