Many have heard of Snowden, but few have changed their habits.
Many have heard at least something about Edward Snowden and that he revealed information about total surveillance. But did people use knowledge about it, took some steps to protect their privacy in the network? Under the cut - the results of a survey of 23,000 people and a few questions especially for you, friends.
A survey on this topic was conducted by the International Center for State Innovation ( CIGI ). More than 23 thousand people from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden answered questions , Tunisia, Turkey and the United States. The sample was not bad. Nationality is not taken into account.
As a result, it turned out that 94% of German residents who took part knew about a person who leaked the secrets of the NSA, while only 76% of Americans could boast the same. In Kenya, only 14% know about Edward. The result for all countries: 60% know Snowden, this is about 14 thousand survey participants.

Did they work on the bugs? Some people have tried to learn more about encryption and other network security methods. India became the leader in this area, followed by Mexico and China. Among Americans, only 36% have taken some steps to protect their privacy. The overall figure for the world - 39%.
Germans, people are very conservative in terms of privacy, are skeptical of security online. Only 15% of them chose the options “fully agree” and “rather agree” to the statement “Personal information on the Internet is safe”. And only 13% of Germans “would trust the United States to play an important role in Internet governance.
Other issues were dedicated to the tracking of users by the authorities, the preservation of bank data and the ability to store personal data on a secure server in the country of residence . I suggest to partially repeat this survey for users of Geektimes.
