Remember, that figure (20TB) was from 1997, 13 years ago.

The web's content has grown by literally orders of magnitude since then.

BTW, being something of a proper-English nut, I hate it when people use the terms "literally" and "order of magnitude" improperly. But the above is indeed true (at least 10^2), so I'll take the grammar risk.

If the google quote is right, 5,000,000,000 TB, then even my statement falls short by many orders of magnitude.
