Political polarization on Facebook

Darrell M. West and Joshua Bleiberg.

Wednesday, May 13, 2015

Social scientists have built a large body of evidence
that people tend to befriend others with similar political
beliefs. The research demonstrates that the polarization
phenomenon also applies to social networks, like
Facebook. The study finds that a Facebook user has
approximately five friends with similar political views and
only one friend on the other side of the spectrum. In a
democracy, to encounter a variety of political opinions is
generally seen as a positive value for citizens.

platform that millions of people use to learn about current
events. Taking small steps to help combat political
polarization in the long run will add to the trust that users
have in Facebook.
