Seventy percent of Americans use Facebook. Facebook dwarfs Twitter, the next closest social media. Facebook allows political advertising. It has come under some criticism from the left and corporate America for allowing all views on its servers. Facebook has imposed some limitations, like a rigorous verification process for people who want to politically advertise and labelling some articles as factually questionable. For the most part, however, the evidence seems to show that conservatives continue to prosper and remain more prevalent on the medium. See the data below.
Because more conservatives seem to use the platform, its likely not going to be able to change much without being noticed or sparking the creation of a massive competitor. Despite imposing some reforms, Facebook seems to be living up more to our democratic ideals than other social media. Facebook is run by left-leaning people, but remains a forum conservatives can benefit from. |
