Level of agreement that social media bans are ineffective India 2019

According to a survey conducted by Ipsos in June 2019, the majority of Indian respondents agreed that social media bans were ineffective because there are many ways to bypass it. About 24 percent strongly agreed with the statement. The survey was conducted in light of coordinated attacks on more than 300 Sri Lankans in April earlier that year. This had led to the shutting down of social media by the national government in an attempt to stop the spread of misinformation.

据伊普索（Ipsos）于2019年6月进行的一项调查，多数印度受访者认为社交媒体禁令收效甚微，原因在于绕过禁令的方法众多。约24%的受访者对此表示强烈赞同。此次调查是在当年4月针对超过300名斯里兰卡人的协同攻击事件背景下进行的。该事件导致印度国家政府关闭社交媒体，以期遏制虚假信息的传播。
