“Levada”: only 5% of Russian citizens consider restricting information on the Internet unacceptable. Our alternative survey

The analytical center "Levada" distributed to the media information on the results of a recent survey of citizens of the Russian Federation in relation to the state regulation of the Network.

According to Kommersant, Levada Center found out that only 5% of citizens consider Internet regulation to be “completely unacceptable”.

The law, which prescribes the procedure for "de-anonymization" of popular bloggers and their duties, was adopted by the State Duma on April 22. Another survey from the Levada Center showed that by the end of last month, 64% did not hear anything about this innovation, 23% “heard something”, and 13% of respondents firmly “knew” about it. On the question of “what the decision was aimed at first of all,” 36% answered that the law was adopted, “so that people who write on the Internet are responsible for their words”; 26% - “so that the authorities could control the leaders of public opinion”. And 38% found it difficult to answer.

It is also interesting that among different categories of respondents “with minor differences” the need to regulate the network is spoken by those who use it and those who do not use it. For example, in general, 5% of respondents say that restrictions on the Internet are "completely unacceptable." And among those who use the Internet to find out the news, such 6%, which, "apparently, characterizes the active part of users." 67% restrictions in one form or another allow.

At the same time, Levada Center claims that the statistical error in their selection of 1,600 respondents in 45 regions of the Russian Federation is only 3.4%.

The survey results are more than suspicious and resemble a state order to legitimize actions to increase restrictions in the Internet space.

Let's conduct your survey with the same questions and answer choices. In this case, I ask you in the comments to indicate, if possible, your region and age, in order to calculate how many subjects of the Russian Federation were already covered by our research on the same issue and to make a sample by age categories.

We, like the Levada, will try to disseminate the results as much as possible through the media, if this vote is active and with a proper sample by region and age of respondents.

Yes, below the published poll will carry in most part the point of view of the Internet community. But let us at least make opportunistic sociological analysts not replace "public opinion" in relation to the position of the IT sphere and present the real state of affairs and our position expressed by us, and not by some semi-mythical persons interviewed.

By the evening, “Levada” published the result of its own poll on the resource itself, so you can see exactly how the questions and all the final figures were asked.
