I refer to this article:


https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/05/13/new-government-
data-shows-a-staggering-number-of-americans-have-stopped-basic-online-activi
ties/

It starts with: "Nearly one in two Internet users say privacy and security
concerns have now stopped them from doing basic things online - such as
posting to social networks, expressing opinions in forums or even buying
things from websites, according to a new government survey released Friday."


It seems to me that this reinforces ISOC's call for restoring trust in the
Internet.

Best,
Richard
