People who think that New Zealand should implement legal consequences for social media companies who expose their users to harm

Respondents were asked to indicate how much they agree or disagree with the following statements about social media companies in the wake of the Christchurch Mosque attacks:
-Social media companies are doing a good job of controlling extremist content online
-New Zealand should implement legal consequences for social media companies who expose their users to harm.
The question was only asked if the person stated they knew about the Christchurch Call.

The researchers used a combination of pre-survey quotas and post-survey weighting to ensure results are broadly representative of all New Zealanders by age, gender, and region.

This sample composition is different from 2018. In 2018 the researchers spoke to both consumers and businesses - a total of 1,859 people. This group was comprised of 858 consumers, 857 businesses, and 144 consumers who also manage or own a business. Consumer behavior and perception results reported in 2018 included the views of all 1,859 people.
Results in 2019 are the views of consumers, and consumers who also own or manage a business. This is different from 2018, where the opinions and attitudes of businesses were a much greater influence. These differences are reflected in some of the results.

Internet NZ sent the aggregated data directly to Figure.NZ for the purpose of publication.

In 2018 InternetNZ conducted a consolidated research project that incorporated three historical research projects for both the former NZRS, and InternetNZ. This project covered business and consumer use and attitudes towards domain names, as well as public perceptions of the Internet in general. In 2019 they have replicated a section of this research project, to understand any changes in consumer perceptions of the Internet. The survey follows the same processes for 2018, however in 2019, the survey focused only on consumer use of and perceptions of the Internet.

• Understand public perceptions of the Internet and perceptions of the market
• Understand how New Zealanders think about, and use the Internet, and identify any concerns
• Maintain consistency with previous years to ensure continuity of benchmarks and reporting
• Identify any significant changes from 2018

Fieldwork was conducted from 18 to 29 November 2019.
The maximum margin of error on the total group n=1,001 is +/-3.1% at the 95% confidence interval.
