I hope he shuts it down.

Literally the only people that care about any of that, are the ones deep lost in the Twitter funnel. Here's the truth: Whatever happens on Twitter, it's going to have zero effect on your personal life. All these 140 character blurps about politics, the virtue signaling, the constant anger, outrage and cancel culture, it has melted people brains. It's all just an echo chamber, tightly kept in within bounds, and people will sell their soul, define their inner being, say whatever it takes, for bogus dopamine hits. Nobody has morals or ideology on Twitter, they are all just optimizing for likes.

What an incredibly narrow and US-centric view of Twitter.

It's only "US-centric" if you include its vassal states in the definition, more correct to say "West-centric view" probably.

That's of course assuming these things aren't happening on Twitter in other spheres (which would be an interesting data point - it would indicate that it may not be something intrinsic to the format, but with current issues in Western culture).

How large is Twitters non-Western user base anyways, in percentages?

>How large is Twitters non-Western user base anyways, in percentages?

Japan and India alone account for 14.0% and 5.6% of Twitter's users, which together are higher than the amount of users in the US at 18.4%.
