This report from We Are Social out of Singapore, combines statistics from Hootsuite, Google, Akamai and others to provide a global snapshot of how digital the world’s populations are. Key to this report are country based social media statistics.

Australians have the most active daily Facebook users – relative to the total population of Australian Facebook users
That means a whopping 75% of Australian Facebook users are logging in every single day in 2016 and 2017.
