Hi everyone,


We launched today the 2016 Global Internet Report
<https://www.internetsociety.org/globalinternetreport/2016/>.


This year's edition focuses on how large-scale data breaches,
uncertainties about the use of our data, cybercrime, surveillance and
other online threats are eroding trust in the Internet. Most
importantly, though, it points towards solutions that may help us
solve these problems.


Data breaches are the oil spills of the digital economy!


The above statement is no exaggeration. Over 429 million people were
affected by reported data breaches in 2015  and that number is certain
to grow even higher in 2016. This is why the report explores the
impact data breaches have on user trust and their consequences for the
global digital economy.


The purpose of the publication is to offer solutions and to emphasize
the important role that companies and organizations play in building a
more trusted Internet. Here is a video preview
<https://youtu.be/FxPRGDF-9iY> of the kind of data you can find in the
publication.

A key question raised by the report is: why are organisations not
taking all available steps to protect the personal information they
collect from each of us?


As usual, would be great to read your responses.


Best,


Fernando


PS - Feel free to share the report widely. This is key to raise
awareness about these topics!
