| dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses the role of the social networking site Facebook in each of the four presidential elections since its membership was opened to anyone above the age of 13. It discusses Facebook’s origins as a site, how people perceive the site now compared to how it was perceived in the past, and various controversies the company has faced. This paper also uses peer reviewed articles, reputable news sources, and research data to look at each presidential election and Facebook’s specific role in it, from 2008’s election to 2020’s. | |
