More than half of Ukrainians feel the operation of Telegram messenger app in Ukraine should be limited and supervised, while less than 10% support a total ban on the network.

Quote: "We asked questions about the general attitude to the ban on Telegram in Ukraine. Currently, only 9% of Ukrainians immediately say that it should be completely banned. At the same time, only 26% believe that it should not be controlled in any way. Instead, the majority of Ukrainians (54%) believe that it should not be completely banned, but that certain restrictions and controls should be introduced - such as blocking certain channels, etc."

Details: The survey was conducted by using the method of telephone interviews based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers (with random generation of phone numbers and subsequent statistical weighting) in all regions of Ukraine (the territory administered by the Government of Ukraine). A total of 1015 respondents were interviewed.

Under normal conditions, the statistical error of such a sample (with a probability of 0.95 and accounting for the design effect of 1.3) did not exceed 4.1% for indicators close to 50%, 3.5% for indicators close to 25%, 2.5% for indicators close to 10%, and 1.8% for indicators close to 5%.
