The majority answer of the day is neither yes nor no: 50 % of voters have no opinion. Behind them, 33 % think social media does more harm than good and 17 % argue the opposite. It is one of the rare rounds where hesitation outweighs both camps combined.
The refusal to decide is especially pronounced among men, who do not take a side at all. Women spread across all three options, split evenly between yes and no.
Age explains part of the deadlock. The 18-to-24s, those who grew up with these platforms, are entirely without an opinion; not one of them picks a side. The 25-34s divide in two, and the 45-54s oscillate between « yes » and abstention.
The debate produced a single contribution, and it comes from the minority side. It refuses a blanket verdict: social media can do as much harm as good, like anything else, and it also brings people closer, keeps you in touch, keeps you informed.
That voice, the best received in the thread, may be saying what the vote already expresses: the mass hesitation is not ignorance but a refusal of a zero-sum ledger. The people who live with these tools most are precisely those who decline to judge them in a word.
