The source provided the following information regarding the sample: "Please note that Brazil is representative of an urban population rather than a national population; as such the internet penetration is likely to be higher than stated above, which must be taken into consideration when interpreting results." The source provided the following information regarding the data: 1. "Data has been rebased to account for the total sample size but is not an accurate indication of ownership levels." 2. "The results will under-represent the consumption habits of people who are not online (typically older, less affluent, and with
limited formal education)."
