The majority of UK web users are not opposed to the government getting involved in the regulation of the internet, a new survey for the BBC World Service has found.
The poll, conducted by GlobeScan for the BBC, found that 55 per cent of British internet users believe that there is a case for government oversight of some aspects of the net.
In addition, the poll, which questioned more than 27,000 adults across 26 countries, found that nearly four in five people around the world think that access to the web is a fundamental right.
Most of those who participated in the survey also said that they believed the internet had a positive impact, with nearly 80 per cent saying it had brought them greater freedom.
In other news, the US government has said that more needs to be done to protect Americans from cyber attacks.
Homeland security secretary Janet Napolitano said the government was working with a "sense of urgency" and that the department of homeland security "stands at a very important juncture."
