There is growing concern among global net users about fake news online, according to a BBC World Service poll.It also indicates mounting opposition to governments stepping in with regulation.In the survey of 18 countries, 79% of respondents said they worried about what was fake and what was real on the internet.But in only two countries, China and the UK, did a majority want their governments to regulate the internet.The BBC carried out a similar survey in 2010.Only 15 countries were covered by both polls. From this subset of respondents, 58% said the internet should never be regulated in the latest survey, up from 51% when the same question was asked seven years ago.When it came to regulation, 67% of Chinese respondents now liked the idea, while opinion was more finely balanced in the UK, with 53% in favour.
