Surveys conducted in 2017, 2020, and 2022 showed that the gap between Democrats and Republicans in the United States has since widened regarding whether or not they felt that free speech was more important than feeling safe online. In 2017, Republicans surveyed saw this as slightly more important compared to Democrats. Five years on, however, over half of Republicans now saw this as being more crucial than feeling safe online, while the share of Democrats who felt the same had declined.
