Nearly half? Sheesh.
Maybe it's because most Europeans don't have a strong opinion about X. I really don't think it's quite as popular here as in the USA. Which is also the reason many don't know how unhinged the current admin is.
A lot of politicians and governments still use it as an official platform. I wish they would stop doing that and giving it any sort of legitimacy.
That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.
No government should be relying on private platforms like that.
To be fair, the only time I used Twitter was in a data science course that required to capture some data from the "firehose" (unsorted and unfiltered realtime stream of tweets). Other than that I never cared for it. Wouldn't affect me at all if they ban it, so it's easy to be in favor of such a ban.
