An international survey reveals that Internet users' trust in the Internet has dropped significantly since 2019. That is among the key findings of a 20-country Ipsos survey released by The New Institute in Hamburg, Germany.

Only six in ten (63%) Internet users on average across the 20 countries said they trust the Internet. That is down 11 points since a similar survey was conducted in 2019. The singular exception is Japan, which showed a 7 percentage-point increase in trust.

But Japan is the rare exception, as the findings reveal that Internet trust shrunk by double-digits in India (-10 points), Kenya (-11), Sweden (-10), Brazil (-18), Canada (-14), the United States (-12), and Poland (-26).

Privacy was a major concern for those surveyed. Seventy-nine percent express worry about their online privacy. Only 50% felt online security is adequate.

Many felt Internet governance is lacking. Slightly more than half of the respondents (57%) believe the Internet is effectively governed. But fewer than half in Great Britain (45%), the U.S. (45%), France (41%) and Israel (34%) feel that way.

... The online survey was conducted by Ipsos between November 10 and 24, 2021. It involved 14,519 Internet users in 20 economies, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States. Respondents in South Africa, Turkey, Israel, the US, and Canada were between 18-74 years of age. In Singapore and Indonesia, the respondents were aged between 21-74. In all other economies, the respondents were aged 16-74. Depending on the economy, 500 or 1,000 individuals were surveyed and were weighted to match the population in each economy surveyed.
