On the other side of the coin we have China, which is the country that occupies the first place in the ranking of most people who use the internet. There, about 721,434,547 have access to the internet, on the other hand, it corresponds to only about 53.2% of the country's population.
In Brazil, for example, about 139,111,185 people have access to the internet, which corresponds to about 70.5% of the population. Norway has “only” 4,471,907 people with internet access and this corresponds to an incredible 95% of the country's population.
