Statement
#1:
The Government has the right to make laws controlling access to
the Internet.
Statement #2:
The Government has the right to filter/censor information on the
Internet in interest of national security.
The
survey data was obtained through an online survey which can
be viewed here. The interviewees
were divided into groups by their relative age (students and
parents) and by the average amount of time they spend on the
Internet each week (less or more than 10 hours). Two statements
were made concerning the Internet and U.S. Government.
Highlights of the study show:
- 78%
of the total respondents said the Government has the right
to filter the Internet in interest of National Security.
- Over
50% of the respondents who use the Internet less than
10 hours a week said they have no problem with the Government
making laws regarding the net.
- The
results between the parents and students who used the
Internet for similar amounts of time were nearly statistically
identical for the second statement.
- The
parents were 13% more tolerant of the Government making
laws concerning the Net than students.
In
conclusion, the Notre Dame respondents do not have a problem
with Government Intervention on the Internet. You should keep
in mind that this was an extremely small, homogeneous sample
and is not meant to represent the views of the general public.
