Twitter[5], often referred to as a microblogging[2] platform, is a widely-used redes sociais[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.

Definições de termos
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. O microblogging é uma ferramenta de comunicação digital e uma forma de blogue que envolve a criação e partilha de publicações breves e frequentes. O termo foi cunhado pela primeira vez como "tumblelogs" em 2005 e tornou-se um termo amplamente utilizado em 2006-2007. As plataformas de microblogging, como o Twitter e o Tumblr, transformaram a forma como a informação é consumida e partilhada. Estas plataformas permitiram aos indivíduos divulgar notícias e informações em tempo real, actuando como sensores ou fontes de informação. No entanto, também suscitam preocupações relativamente à privacidade e à segurança devido à potencial exposição de dados pessoais sensíveis. O impacto global do microblogging é significativo, com diversas plataformas disponíveis em todo o mundo e utilizadores que o adoptam para vários fins, desde a expressão da criatividade até ao marketing e à gestão de crises. Apesar de alguns desafios de integração, o microblogging continua a evoluir, tendo impacto nos estilos de comunicação e nos movimentos sociais. As tendências futuras sugerem uma mudança para comunidades mais específicas e serviços centrados na privacidade.

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 Stonee 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, discurso de ódio (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 nome de domínio '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.
