According to a survey conducted by Ipsos in June 2019, around 36 percent of Japanese respondents stated to trust social media companies to ensure the content shared on their platforms during times of crisis is factual, with only three percent strongly agreeing to the statement.
The background of the survey was a temporary social media ban by the government in Sri Lanka in April 2019 in the wake of a fatal terrorist attack.
