## How to read it

- Online survey of 48,340 people in 47 countries by the University of Melbourne and KPMG International (2025). The authors note online samples can over-represent younger, more urban and more educated people in emerging economies, and that country differences hold after controlling for age and education.
- Each dot is a country; dots below the dashed line have higher use than trust. The ‘Global’ row (58% use, 53% trust) is in the data file but not plotted. The file labels the United States ‘USA’.
