While there isn't one central repository for global internet law statistics, here are some areas you can explore to get a better understanding:

Data Privacy:

  • Public opinion on data privacy regulations is high. A survey showed 87% support banning the sale of user data without consent, and similar numbers favor minimizing data collection and increasing regulations for children [explodingtopics.com].
  • Data breaches are a concern for businesses too. Studies indicate positive impacts from strong privacy laws, with 79% of businesses reporting benefits [enzuzo.com].

Focus on Specific Regions:

  • The European Union (EU) has some of the strictest data privacy laws, like the "Right to be Forgotten" allowing individuals to request removal of search engine results [EU Right to be Forgotten].
  • In the United States, individual states are taking the lead on data privacy with California, Colorado, and Virginia having comprehensive consumer data privacy laws [National Conference of State Legislatures (.gov)].

Search for Reports by Organizations:

  • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the US tracks privacy practices and releases reports on the evolving legal landscape [Federal Trade Commission (.gov)].
  • Look for reports from industry groups or privacy advocacy organizations.

Keep in mind:

  • Internet law is constantly evolving as new technologies and issues emerge.
  • Statistics may not encompass the global landscape, so consider the source and region.
