Amid privacy concerns and rapidly declining trust, internet users have called for regulations to strengthen online privacy

South Africans’ trust in the internet has declined since 2019 amid concerns over privacy and protection of personal data.

Only six in 10 users on average across the 20 countries said they trust the internet. This is down 11 percentage points since a similar survey in 2019. “In line with findings in other countries of shrinking trust in the internet, this showed a decline of 9 percentage points since 2019.”
