Ilmari Karonen

@bjb568 So what is that? Besides a U.S. / Europe population map, I mean.

There are also a lot of global versions of this map showing traffic to English-language websites which are indistinguishable from maps of the location of internet users who are native English speakers.

bjb568

It's an internet population map. Where all the IPs that responded to a ping are.
