Results follow a government consultation which found strong support for giving Jersey people the right to request posts that breach a platform's rules be removed.
80% of islanders believe it should be easier to remove harmful or illegal online content.
Three-quarters of respondents also agree that there should be more online protection and clear rights about removing distressing images shared without consent.
Assistant Minister for Sustainable Economic Development Deputy Moz Scott is responsible for cyber security in Jersey:
“It’s important that Islanders’ voices are heard as we look to shape online-safety frameworks in Jersey, and I thank everyone who engaged with this consultation.
“We know how distressing online bullying and the publication of harmful content can be, and our ambition is to ensure that the proposals will help protect Islanders of all ages by addressing their concerns.”
In addition to formal responses to the consultation, more than 100 young people shared their views through School Council.
