      I think people have a very skewed understanding of how much influence Twitter has on elections. Facebook, yes. Google, sure. But Twitter? Twitter is tiny.

      Twitter, as of last year, had about 238 million daily active users, or roughly 3% of the total world population.

      Facebook had 3 billion. That’s more than 1/3 the population of the planet.

      TikTok is roughly 1 billion. Instagram, 500M. Hell, even Snapchat is higher, at around 380-400M.
