Based on the overall figures provided by Twitter , we also know that the platform is predominantly male ( 66 %) and young ( 53.6 % of users are between 18 and 34 years of age ); users access the platform primarily with their mobile telephones ; they live in urban areas ; they have a high technological profile ; and they have gone to university . Also , unlike other social media like Facebook , most users who access Twitter do so in search of information ( 56 %), making it a politicisation space of major impact . Lastly , at the European level , the platform ’ s popularity varies by country . For example , the United Kingdom ( 17.1 million ) and Spain ( 4.1 million ) rank as the European countries with the highest activity on Twitter , together accounting for more than a third of the continent ’ s profiles . By contrast , Germany ranks as the European country with the lowest activity on Twitter .
Commemorations
The project has examined a wide range of commemorative holidays and related phenomena . The commemorations are sometimes oneoff events , such as the centenary of the end of the First World War or the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall . These events cannot be tracked systematically , because they are limited to specific anniversaries . By contrast , institutionalised commemorations such as Europe Day , Holocaust Remembrance Day and Black Ribbon Day ( in remembrance of the victims of totalitarian regimes ) do leave an annual trail so that their evolution can be tracked over time . To this end , the analysis combines both types of phenomenon , with their disparate impact in terms of the volume of information that they engender .
