In the era of social networks and searching the Internet for all manner of information, Australians, it appears, have taken to spying on their partners on the net in an effort to find incriminating evidence to back up suspicions they have about their opposite number.

According to a worldwide survey commissioned by the people search website Yasni, it’s been revealed that Australians are becoming online spies to expose lies told by their partners, with more than 50 percent admitting they have uncovered a lie on the Internet.

Of the 784  Australian online users surveyed, Yasni says that, on top of the 54 percent who admitted that they have discovered a lie told by their partner, a further 21 percent said that they have used the Internet to try and expose suspected lies that their partner had told, but had found no evidence to back up their suspicions.

Yasni says, however, that only one in four people from Australia said they would never use the internet to try and expose a lie from their partner.

In Europe, however, Yasni says the survey revealed some surprisingly contrasting results to the Australian survey, with only an average of 30 percent of respondents from looking for information about their partner online.  

According to Yasni, this suggests that the Europeans may be less suspicious of their partner than Australians.
