I was looking at this one - https://www.statista.com/statistics/242606/number-of-active-...

That supports the claim “Most people on Twitter are not in the US”.

It says there are 206 million active Twitter users, 77 million of them in the USA. That’s less than half of them.

It's a significant plurality though and Twitter is most exposed to US laws.

Are these active usage numbers? I wonder how many of us have created one in the past but never use it. Or what the monthly actives are.

Of my family and friends I only know of 2 who use it actively though most have an account.

What would make it more unpopular outside the US than inside the US?

It just never caught on outside the US like Facebook/Instagram did.

From my small Eastern European country - no one I know uses Twitter, Reddit is more popular than it. That’s anecdotal, of course.
