Four in five adults (79%) regard internet access as their fundamental right, according to a BBC World Service poll conducted by Globescan.
More than 27,000 adults in 26 countries were polled, including over 14,000 internet users.
More than half (53%) of the internet users agreed that "the internet should never be regulated by any level of government anywhere" — including large majorities in South Korea (83%), Nigeria (77%), and Mexico (72%).
Countries where very high proportions regarded internet access as their fundamental right included South Korea (96%), Mexico (94%), and China (87%).
More than seven in 10 (71%) non-internet-users also said they should have the right to access the Net, said the Globescan report, which can be found here with more details here.
