Survey finds 64% of Australians are worried about
fake news on the internet, while a quarter think determining truth is not the role of technology companies
A majority of Australians surveyed about their attitudes to the changing media landscape (58%) believe
Social Media platforms should block misleading political advertisements, while a quarter think there should not be curbs because determining truth is not the role of technology companies.
The finding is part of a respected annual international survey coordinated by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford, in collaboration with the news and media research centre at the University of Canberra.
