Are those countries fighting back in any real sense, or it's a consequence of limited internet access? In Liberia, you can only get very limited and slow internet costing as much as $6 / hour [1]. And for Cubans, the problem was severe enough to make an offline version of the internet (a periodically updated hard-disk) be of any practical value [2]. The stats are meaningless without total traffic share of these countries.

- tyingq 8y ago"The stats are meaningless without total traffic share of these countries" They do publish the sample sizes per country. I assume the sample size is proportional to traffic share, but it's not stated explicitly. Some of it does look odd...the sample size for Turkey is close to the sample size for the US. http://gs.statcounter.com/sample-size/StatCounterGlobalStatsSep15_SampleSizeCountryBreakdown.csv http://gs.statcounter.com/sample-size/StatCounterGlobalStats...
