Adults in favor of a temporary social media ban during massive terrorist attack 2019
In April 2019, the Sri Lankan government cut off social media access in the wake of a fatal terrorist attack. According to an Ipsos survey conducted a month later, a total of 59 percent of respondents from various countries stated that they would support a temporary social media ban during a massive terrorist attack in their country to stop the flow of fake news. Internet users in India were most likely to agree with this statement, as 85 percent of respondents from the country strongly or somewhat agreed. Saudi Arabia was ranked second with a 77 percent agreement rate.
