Social media usage in Romania - statistics & facts
Today, social media serves as a powerful tool for staying connected with friends and family, as well as a significant source of news, offering global information and live streaming. In Romania, social media, particularly among the younger generation, has not only revolutionized the way people connect but also made a substantial impact on political expression. It has played a significant role in protests and presidential elections, with the 2024 campaign of Călin Georgescu showing how online platforms can rapidly boost a candidate’s visibility and influence public opinion. By 2024, the country had 17.8 million internet users, with approximately 13 million of them active on social networks.
