Summary of the Error:
In our article titled “Global Internet Usage Surges by 10% Year Over Year” published on October 15, 2024, an error was made in the reported growth rate of global internet usage. The article stated that global internet usage grew by 10% from 2023 to 2024. However, after a review of the data sources, it was determined that the correct growth rate is 8%, not 10%. This discrepancy arose from a miscalculation in the dataset’s annual growth figures.
Details of the Correction:
- The original story used a year-over-year growth rate of 10%, based on an incorrect percentage increase.
- The corrected growth rate, verified from the latest data provided by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), is 8%.
- This change does not affect the overall narrative of the report but provides a more accurate figure for global internet usage growth.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate the feedback from our readers, which helps ensure the accuracy and integrity of our reporting.
How This Affects the Story:
- The headline, as well as the sections discussing growth rates, have been amended to reflect the accurate 8% growth figure.
- The corrected data is now reflected in both the chart and the accompanying analysis.
