Check out the new report; turns out that that on social networking sites, friends disagree with friends about political issues and usually let their disagreements pass without comment, and users can be surprised to learn the political leanings of their friends.Also of note: 18% of users have shunned “friends” who have different ideas and 16% have found friends whose beliefs match their own.
