Twitter[5], often referred to as a microblogging[2] platform, is a widely-used médias sociaux[4] network that was founded in San Francisco, California in March 2006. It was initially code-named ’twttr’ and spun off as a separate entity in April 2007. The platform enables users to post short messages, known as tweets, and share multimedia content like images and videos. It also offers features like direct messaging, video and audio calling, bookmarks, and lists. Twitter has faced several controversies, including allegations of enabling the spread of disinformation[1] and hate speech. However, it remains popular, with over 330 million active users[3] by 2019. In 2022, entrepreneur Elon Musk acquired Twitter and subsequently rebranded it to ‘X’ in 2023.

Définitions des termes
1. ↑ disinformation. Disinformation is a complex concept with roots tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European language family. It refers to the intentional spreading of false or misleading information, often for political or social influence. This phenomenon became widespread in the 1980s and has been a subject of extensive research to understand its origins, methods, and impacts. Disinformation is often used in deception campaigns on social media and is distinct from misinformation and malinformation. It's common in political arenas, where it can confuse citizens and discourage their engagement. Disinformation has global implications, being used by governments, NGOs, and businesses worldwide. It can undermine election security and create societal divisions. Various countermeasures have been initiated by organizations like NATO and the EU to address this issue. The study of disinformation also extends to ethical considerations and its role in warfare. Despite these efforts, disinformation remains a challenging issue due to its widespread prevalence and the difficulty in assessing its true impact.
2. ↑ microblogging. Le microblogging est un outil de communication numérique et une forme de blog qui implique la création et le partage de messages brefs et fréquents. Le terme a été inventé pour la première fois sous le nom de "tumblelogs" en 2005 et est devenu un terme largement utilisé en 2006-2007. Les plateformes de microblogging, telles que Twitter et Tumblr, ont transformé la manière dont les informations sont consommées et partagées. Ces plateformes ont permis aux individus de diffuser des nouvelles et des informations en temps réel, agissant comme des capteurs ou des sources d'information. Cependant, elles soulèvent également des inquiétudes concernant la vie privée et la sécurité en raison de l'exposition potentielle de données personnelles sensibles. L'impact global du microblogging est significatif, avec diverses plateformes disponibles dans le monde entier et des utilisateurs qui l'adoptent à des fins diverses, de l'expression de la créativité au marketing et à la gestion de crise. Malgré certains problèmes d'intégration, le microblogging continue d'évoluer, influençant les styles de communication et les mouvements sociaux. Les tendances futures suggèrent une évolution vers des communautés de niche et des services axés sur la protection de la vie privée.

The service is owned by the American company X Corp., the successor of Twitter, Inc. Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stoneet Evan Williams, and launched in July of that year. Twitter grew quickly, and by 2012, more than 100 million users produced 340 million tweets per day. Twitter, Inc., was based in San Francisco, California, and had more than 25 offices around the world. A signature characteristic of the service is that posts are required to be brief (originally 140 characters, later expanded to 280 in 2017). The majority of tweets are produced by a minority of users. In 2020, it was estimated that approximately 48 million accounts (15% of all accounts) were not genuine people.

In October 2022, billionaire Elon Musk acquired Twitter for US$44 billion, gaining control of the platform and becoming the chief executive officer (CEO). Since the acquisition, the platform has been criticized for enabling the increased spread of disinformation, discours de haine (antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia) and child pornography on the platform. Linda Yaccarino succeeded Musk as CEO on June 5, 2023, with Musk remaining as the chairman and the chief technology officer. In July 2023, Musk announced that Twitter would be rebranded to X and that the bird logo, along with the Twitter name, would be retired. Although the service is now called X, the primary nom de domaine 'twitter.com' remains in place as of April 2024, with the 'x.com' URL redirecting to that address. In December 2023, Fidelity estimated the value of the company to be down 71.5 percent from its purchase price.
