Feedback from Europeans for Safe Connections

We “Europeans for Safe Connections” suggest the following changes:

Variable identifier IACC (Access of the household to the internet at home (by any device)) should contain a subidentifier

  • IACCtype – a checkbox to check all types of connection used in the last 3 months. Choose from ethernet, Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, Mobile Data 4G, Mobile Data 5G, Bluetooth, …

Variable identifiers IOT_xxx (Use of an internet-connected…) should also contain a subidentifier

  • IOT_xxx_type – a checkbox to check all types of connection used in the last 3 months. Choose from ethernet, Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, Mobile Data 4G, Mobile Data 5G, Bluetooth, …

In a Detailed topic: Connection to the internet from anywhere, we suggest to add another Variable identifiers

  • IOT_BRE2 – Reasons for not using any of the internet-connected… – respondent feels responsibility, because internet connected devices create environmental pollution when designed, produced and distributed in many respects that cannot be compensated through the use of these devices.
  • IOT_BEC2 – Reasons for not using any of the internet-connected… – lack of ethernet connectivity or landline connectivity and lack of devices offering cabled internet connection.

Best regards
