The Global Internet User Survey provides reliable information relevant to issues important to the Internet’s future and informs the Internet Society's programmes and activities.
In 2012, more than 10,000 people in 20 countries were asked about their attitudes towards the Internet and behaviours online, offering one of the broadest views of people’s attitudes about key issues our world faces when it comes to the Internet.
The questions ranged from how users manage personal information online, attitudes toward the Internet and human rights, and the potential for the Internet to address issues such as economic development and education.
