I totally disagree that this study can show this. "Internet non-user" is not a meaningful comparison category for 2016. The whole ecology of information has shifted and everyone is affected—even if you never touched a computer. Hard to measure, sure, but this isn't that measure.

Would you say that those points re: info ecology hold true in non-authoritarian context only? In TR, where the Internet non-users account for 40%, there was little ‘politically salient’ online content (say, Ince tweets) being recycled on tightly controlled mainstream TV.

Indeed, in some countries this would be a much more meaningful comparison group. Really depends on the information ecology specifics. There is really no meaningful escaping the Internet effects in the US anymore.
