underpins beliefs about the sustained growth in the use of platforms for creating and sharing user
rising profits from progress in the fields of cloud computing and new business models associated with data
This trend is underpinned further by the fast growth of smartphones, tablets and other devices enabling
data. In fact, 24%of Europeans reported having accessed the internet through a mobile phone and 6
%reported using a tablet. Similarly, the fact that only 17%of the population reported using the internet for
looking for jobs and 5%reported having participated in an online course also suggests that there is
potential to be captured easily. Despite the gradual decrease in digital divides, the potential is even clearer

Percentage of active internet users using microblogging3 Source: Unimccann 2013 2. 2. Limited global connectedness Although there appears to be a quasi-univocal consensus on the sustained pace of the growth in
connectivity at a global scale through social computing, a closer look at the evidence for connectedness
While the majority of the global population is projected to be connected to the web in the forthcoming
decades, internet traffic remains mainly domestic (Ghemawat & Altman 2012. Although social network 3 The term â active internet usersâ refers to individuals who use the internet every day or every other day (Unimccann
2012). ) Microblogging is the use of social network services specifically created for the sharing of brief entries and
content, such as Jaiku or Twitter 18 services are perceived as global platforms, 84.2%of Facebook relationships and a large percentage of
Twitter relationships were found to be clustered along country lines (Gonzalez et al. 2011; Kulshrestha et al.,
, 2012; Ugander et al. 2011), as illustrated in Figure E. 1. 3. Consequently, the future may be potentially
less globalised and more determined by local and national cultures and preferences as opposed to a rising
global value system based on the deepening and broadening of global networks Although the level of globalisation of connected technologies is uncertain,
there is some evidence that the use of these technologies may have significant impacts on the online and offline behaviour of users.
This influence, merging online and offline spheres, is exerted mainly through the potential to connect individuals, facilitate the flow of information
and change the options for self-expression and exerting influence over others. Ultimately, it is likely that the growing population of individuals using social

According to the literature, a positive relationship between internet penetration and democracy exists although the scale of the influence is not uniform.
For instance, although analysis found that internet penetration signiï cantly increased democracy ratings, this relationship varied signiï cantly by region
These findings suggest that the internet is not by itself sufficient to promote regime changes,

some cases, such as the 2010 elections for the US Congress (Bond 2012), but the effect of these tools and

Governments ask companies to remove or review content for many different reasons. For example, some content removals are requested owing to allegations of defamation, while others
are owing to allegations that the content violates local laws prohibiting hate speech or adult content.
Laws surrounding these issues vary by country, and the requests reflect the legal context of a given jurisdiction
