Relevance to Hypotheses¶

Hypothesis	Relationship	Strength
H1	Contradicts	This is 21 countries, not 31
H2	Supports	Shows 66% usage is a real Ipsos finding, just different survey parameters
H3	Contradicts	The figure exists

Context¶

This is a 2026 survey, likely published after the article was written. The 21-country count does not match the claimed 31 countries.
