According to a survey conducted by Ipsos in June 2019, about 75 percent of Saudi Arabian respondents stated to trust the national government to decide the appropriate time and moment to cut off social media platforms in times of crisis, with 37 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.
