While the study by Gallup and the Knight Foundation offers a sweeping look at American attitudes toward technology issues, the regulatory section largely focused on content moderation and speech rather than other issues, such as competition or privacy.Partisan views may appear widespread because the groups more closely linked with political affiliations tended to be more politically active, engaged online and wealthy, leading them to have outsize prominence, according to researchers.
