The second article fails to mention the country of origin. It wouldn't surprise me if more then 20% percent of Chinese use a VPN, however, but I still don't think many in Europe use it because we don't have censorship. In some countries, a few YouTube videos (that contain copyrighted music) are blocked, however, people don't use a proxy to watch them. They have a browser plug in that uses a proxy to load the blocked videos (and only the blocked ones). You can't really say that someone is hiding their IP if the only use a proxy to watch a YouTube video without really knowing nor explicitly selecting one.
- ikeboy 11y agoThe first one does, though, and many European countries are above 20% there. I think that given that data, it's not unreasonable to accept that 20% of Europeans overall who use the internet use a vpn, especially when that is explicitly claimed elsewhere (in OP). As for your plugin claim, if they don't know what's going on, they wouldn't answer yes to the question about VPNs.

- ikeboy 11y agoYou have a point ... I didn't check the source of OP.
