Lack of Security increasingly Fueling Internet Distrust
In a new survey of Internet users around the globe, social media companies emerged as the leading source of user distrust in the internet — surpassed only by cyber criminals — with 75% of those surveyed who distrust the Internet citing Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms as contributing to their lack of trust.
While cyber criminals, cited by 81% of those who distrust the Internet, remained the leading source of distrust, a majority in all regions (62% globally) indicated that a lack of Internet security was also a critical factor.
