At the end of 2022, mobile network traffic grew by 21% compared to the consumption at the end of 2021.
This figure responds to the natural evolution of users' behavior related to the use of technologies such as streaming.
Regarding the fixed internet service, an aggregate data flow of up to 6,000 GB per second was able to be transmitted.

To measure the effectiveness of our enforcement, YouTube released a metric called violative view rate, which looks at how many views on YouTube come from violative material.
From July through September 2022, that number was 0.10% – 0.11%, which means that for every 10,000 views, between 10 and 11 were of content that violated the Community Guidelines.
Likewise, the platform tracks the number of appeals in response to videos that have been removed (an option available to any creator on YouTube).
During the same period mentioned above, YouTube removed more than 5.6 million violative videos and received 271,000 removal appeals. Upon review of the appeals, YouTube reinstated 29,000 videos.
