Just over three quarters (76 percent) of respondents said that online media should be made to follow the same rules that traditional media has to follow in the run up to elections. Less than a fifth (18 percent) disagreed.
Should online media be made to adhere to the same rules as traditional media in pre-election periods?*
* Respondents from all 28 EU member states were asked "In a pre-election period, traditional media usually have to observe a number of rules, such as observing silence periods just before the elections, ensuring equal campaigning time for the different candidates or strict rules on funding for the campaign. Do you think that these rules should also apply to online social networks, Internet platforms and actors using them?"
