Social network X/Twitter is particularly popular in the United States, and as of February 2025, the microblogging service had an audience reach of 103.9 million users in the country. Japan and the India were ranked second and third with more than 70 million and 25 million users respectively. Global Twitter usage As of the second quarter of 2021, X/Twitter had 206 million monetizable daily active users worldwide. The most-followed Twitter accounts include figures such as Elon Musk, Justin Bieber and former U.S. president Barack Obama. X/Twitter and politics X/Twitter has become an increasingly relevant tool in domestic and international politics. The platform has become a way to promote policies and interact with citizens and other officials, and most world leaders and foreign ministries have an official Twitter account. Former U.S. president Donald Trump used to be a prolific Twitter user before the platform permanently suspended his account in January 2021. During an August 2018 survey, 61 percent of respondents stated that Trump's use of Twitter as President of the United States was inappropriate.

The number of Twitter users in the United Kingdom was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2028 by in total 0.9 million users (+5.1 percent). After the ninth consecutive increasing year, the Twitter user base is estimated to reach 18.55 million users and therefore a new peak in 2028. Notably, the number of Twitter users of was continuously increasing over the past years.User figures, shown here regarding the platform twitter, have been estimated by taking into account company filings or press material, secondary research, app downloads and traffic data. They refer to the average monthly active users over the period.The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in up to 150 countries and regions worldwide. All indicators are sourced from international and national statistical offices, trade associations and the trade press and they are processed to generate comparable data sets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).

The undertaking of several studies of political phenomena in social media mandates the operationalization of the notion of political stance of users and contents involved. Relevant examples include the study of segregation and polarization online, the study of political diversity in content diets in social media, or AI explainability. While many research designs rely on operationalizations best suited for the US setting, few allow addressing more general design, in which users and content might take stances on multiple ideology and issue dimensions, going beyond traditional Liberal-Conservative or Left-Right scales. To advance the study of more general online ecosystems, we present a dataset of X/Twitter population of users in the French political Twittersphere and web domains embedded in a political space spanned by dimensions measuring attitudes towards immigration, the EU, liberal values, elites and institutions, nationalism and the environment. We provide several benchmarks validating the positions of these entities (based on both, LLM and human annotations), and discuss several applications for this dataset.

Advertising makes up 89% of its total revenue and data licensing makes up about 11%.

During the first half of 2024, there were a total of 18,737 data requests for X (formerly Twittter) account information from governments with 3,329 of these were requested by the United States government. A further 2,726 were requested by the Japanese government, while 7,872 were requested by the European Union. Overall, 52.82 percent of these requests resulted in data being disclosed to the relevant authorities.

The XRAY database table contains selected parameters from almost all HEASARC X-ray catalogs that have source positions located to better than a few arcminutes. The XRAY database table was created by copying all of the entries and common parameters from the tables listed in the Component Tables section. The XRAY database table has many entries but relatively few parameters; it provides users with general information about X-ray sources, obtained from a variety of catalogs. XRAY is especially suitable for cone searches and cross-correlations with other databases. Each entry in XRAY has a parameter called 'database_table' which indicates from which original database the entry was copied; users can browse that original table should they wish to examine all of the parameter fields for a particular entry. For some entries in XRAY, some of the parameter fields may be blank (or have zero values); this indicates that the original database table did not contain that particular parameter or that it had this same value there. The HEASARC in certain instances has included X-ray sources for which the quoted value for the specified band is an upper limit rather than a detection. The HEASARC recommends that the user should always check the original tables to get the complete information about the properties of the sources listed in the XRAY master source list. This master catalog is updated periodically whenever one of the component database tables is modified or a new component database table is added. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has provided global atmospheric analyses from its archive for many years. The ERA-15 Re-analysis project was devised in response to wishes expressed by many users for a data set generated by a modern, consistent, and invariant data assimilation system. The ERA-15 project produced a long time-series (January 1979 - February 1994) of consistent meteorological analyses using a single version of the ECMWF model. This dataset contains regular 2.5 degree x 2.5 degree gridded data on standard pressure levels and at the surface.

1. Introduction

The file “gen_dd_channel.zip” is a package of a wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) stored radio channel model at 140 GHz in indoor hall, outdoor suburban, residential and urban scenarios. The package consists of 1) measured wideband double-directional multipath data sets estimated from radio channel sounding and processed through measurement-based ray-launching and 2) MATLAB code sets that allows users to generate wideband MIMO radio channels with various antenna array types, e.g., uniform planar and circular arrays at link ends.
