The majority of the public feel anxious about the proliferation of hoaxes (false news). This is reflected in the results of a survey by LSI Denny JA which shows that 75% of the public are worried about the massive spread of hoaxes. Only 8.7% are not worried, and the remaining 16.3% answered "don't know/didn't answer."
As is known, the false news about the assault on Ratna Sarumpaet has garnered much public attention and wasted the nation's energy. The public who are worried about the emergence of hoaxes state that they also want false news on social media to be regulated.
The LSI survey was conducted from October 10-19, 2018, involving 1,200 respondents. The sampling method used multistage random sampling, with face-to-face interviews using questionnaires and a margin of error of +/- 2.8%.
