What the Data Shows
Methods used to verify online information are compared among Latvia’s internet users aged 16–74 in 2025. The three percentages are separate reported behaviours and may overlap, so they are not a composition. Assessing the source or searching for more information led at 18.2%, 12.0 percentage points above consulting other people or alternative sources. Following or participating in online discussions was 3.7%, making the leading method 4.9 times as common.

Data notes & caveats
Percentages refer to internet users aged 16–74 in Latvia. Methods may overlap and should not be added together.
Methodology
The three published percentages are ordered from highest to lowest and kept as independent rates because respondents or enterprises may fall into more than one category.
Source consistency notes
All three percentages use the same official Latvian release, 2025 period, population basis and percent unit.
