For instance, less than 50% of the current online audience speak English (Japanese and Chinese are 2nd and 3rd in popularity). And of course, there's the fact that there are only 500 million English speakers in the world, and the other 5.5 billion speak something else (frequently Chinese :-).

Yahoo being blamed for kidnappings and torture. Yes, I'm sure it's their fault that parents let their kids chat to strangers without warning or supervision.

It's not Yahoo's responsibility any more than it's the ISP's for providing access in the first place.","updated",["D",998371136000],"created",["D",998371136000],"codename","i_was_interested_by_this_page_of_global_internet_usage_statistics_for_instance_less_than_50_of","legacy_id","2352","thumbnailUrl","published",["D",998371136000],"draft",false,"actionData","errors"]
