How Tunisia goes online
Tunis still argues about its decisions on Facebook before they reach the television, and a photo usually arrives before a statement. WhatsApp and Instagram handle the daily talk, but the public square is elsewhere. For bills and payments, La Poste's D17 app sits on nearly every phone and gets more use than any bank app. Young people in the cities watch short video constantly, which is how some of them moved from viewer to creator, living off small adverts rather than a salary.
Around 67.2%. With a population of about 12.2 million and 8.2 million online, roughly 4 million people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
