I’m one such person. There is still a line in the middle, so it’s ok.

#4I was wondering about how representative this is of the populations. The link to the survey is broken but I did find this on the Ipos Mori site:

> The remaining 11 countries surveyed: Brazil, Chile, China, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Peru, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Turkey have lower levels of internet penetration and so these samples should instead be considered to represent a more affluent, connected population
I would extend that consideration to most of the countries shown in the results.

#6No surprise that countries with the most oppressive internet surveillance and censorship also rank highly in self reported satisfaction. Chinese citizens probably got a boost to their social credit score for answering positively on this survey.
I was just in Beijing and Shanghai for a few weeks and almost everyone I talked to in private admitted that they expect an economic crash in the near future. So this survey is essentially useless for countries where privacy on the internet is not expected and dissent is punished.

So? No one said it was. Why make up a strawman just to reply?
We could come up with a long list of other things that also weren't claimed and rebut those as well but I don't really see how it helps advance the discussion.

#9Polls like this are not useful for anything. They are, at best, measuring the temperament of the citizens of a country, and some of them will be overly negative or positive about anything. It would be interesting if pollsters attempted to "correct for temperament"
