And finally… the age-old question (if you’ll pardon the pun). We asked, how old do you think a person should be before having access to social media? The highest score (36%) was for the 16-17 year old age bracket.

Almost two-thirds of Brits believe that the Government favours social media platforms over its users.

Next up we asked, in your opinion, does it matter if the head of a social media company is politically active?

Now, onto the hot topic of social media regulation 🔥 Platforms have come under fire recently amid the spreading of misinformation during the recent riots. Almost half of respondents agree that there should be more regulation on X/Twitter, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.

It may be X to some, it’ll always be Twitter to us 🐦 We asked, has the acquisition of Twitter / X made you more or less likely to use the platform? Whilst the majority reported no change, 34% said they’re less likely to use the platform.

He might not be everyone’s cup of tea 🍵 But how do Brits feel about Elon Musk? Though he’s sometimes a controversial figure, the majority don’t have particularly strong feelings about him.

Social media can feel like the Wild West at times 🤠 From extremist views to entertaining gifs and quite literally everything in between, we polled Brits to discover their feelings on social media and social media reform. Let’s go!

Lastly, we asked, should AI companies be allowed to use copyrighted material to train their models without compensating the original creators? 58% of respondents said it should not be allowed.

And finally, onto the fascinating and often polarising topic of AI. We asked, how do you think AI will affect the future of the creative industries? Almost a third said that they think AI will mostly harm creative industries. However, the majority are unsure of its implications.

Of those that chose more funding for one than the other, Brits were three times as likely to support greater funding for STEM than greater funding for Arts and Humanities.
