More worldwide say internet has deepened social divides
Original: Growing shares across countries say the internet and social media have made people more divided

The survey points to rising public concern that online platforms contribute to polarization, as more respondents report increased political and social division linked to internet use in their countries.
Why now: Public debate over social media's role in polarization is intensifying as new survey data confirms growing global concern.
