Half of Americans believe the internet should controlled

The government regulating the internet, is this cool thing? Well for many Americans it is, in fact there are around half of those who tool part in a national survey by Rasmussen Reports believed that the internet should be regulated in the same way that the TV and radio are.

However you would have thought that that would also mean that the half believe that the government should be able to manage how and what happens on the internet, but that is not the case as there sixteen per cent who are undecided.

But when it comes to internet bullying, like what we have seen on some social networking sites, there was a huge amount of Americans around seventy five per cent who believe that this sort of behaviour should be a serious crime, as there have been a number of case where the victims have committed suicide.
