Increase in polarization and social connectivity (IMAGE)
Caption
Top: Gray circles show the survey-based polarization measure over time; the red crosses represent the model prediction.
Bottom: Estimated average number of close friends by country and survey. The dashed line shows a logistic regression across all data points. The transition from low to high connectivity occurs shortly after Facebook became publicly accessible (vertical line I – 2006) and overtook other websites in U.S. traffic (vertical line II – 2010).
