Negative Influences
How does social media negatively influence younger people's opinions and views on politics?In the recent years 35 percent of young people reported that they view political information on a daily or weekly basis. Many say that they don't trust social media as they often see people talking about topics that they aren't educated on,
I don't think it's fair for people to post all these things on their Instagram stories and making all of these claims when they're not actually educated on the topic, and they don't understand what's actually going on. Like, for example, I find myself sometimes challenging someone's opinion which is totally wrong, and they just don't have anything to follow up with, so clearly, they're not educated on the matter, and they're just making these bold claims without having any evidence to support what they're saying. - Lisa, 21, Conservative
