World-o-meters

Writing something about population, I stumbled across the Worldometers website.   This has the goal of "making world statistics available in a thought-provoking and time relevant format to a wide audience around the world".

It's owned by Dadax, which says it has "no political, governmental, or corporate affiliation".  Their website is as unusual as you might hope.

  • The only way of telling whether a site is "independent"--i.e. has no government or corporate connections (a claim Dadax/Worldometer makes) -- is on the basis of who funds it. Dadax/Worldometer is extremely secretive and thus probably not completely "neutral" or "objective"--however one chooses to define those terms at present time.
