X.com (formerly Twitter) is a social network acquired by Elon Musk and rebranded to its current name. The main feature remains the "tweets", public short messages of up to 280 characters (140 for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), while users can also "follow" each other and exchange private messages. It continues to be among the most popular social networks alongside Facebook and YouTube. Unlike other networks, X.com allows pornography to some extent, but, like its predecessors, it is accused of censoring certain opinions and worldviews.
