The statistic illustrates the share of inappropriate posts on the Polish internet from 2011 to 2016, broken down by service type. In 2016 the lowest percentage of improper posts was observed on blogs (less than one percent). On social media sites, the percentage of inappropriate posts increased slightly to two percent, while a distinct increase was noted on forum posts and in article comments (from around one percent in 2011 to almost five percent in 2016).

The first of the analyses is based on a questionnaire dedicated to internet users. The last wave of the study was conducted between 15th and 30th November 2016 via Computer Assisted Web Interviewing. A sample size allowed to reach 70% coverage among Polish internet users. The margin of error, with a sample size of 1121 collected interviews, is 2.43% on the 95% confidence level. The sample was weighted with analytical weight based on gender, age and frequency of internet usage.
The first wave of the study, used for historical comparisons, was conducted between 18th August and 20th September 2011. The sample size consisted of 2093 interviews. Methodology, recruitment and analysis of the sample are the same as in the study conducted in 2016.
The second study was the analysis of posts, based on the sample of internet users' quotes coming from three sources: social networking services, blogs, forums and comments on articles found in various portals.
Five thematic areas were created: politics (e.g. elections, Poland in EU), science/technology (e.g. internet, flight into space, Microsoft), pop-culture (e.g. Harry Potter, gossip), social trauma (e.g. Warsaw uprising, death of Pope, military state) and worldview (e.g. abortion, in vitro, homosexuality).
