Who’s behind Wednesday’s epic Twitter hack?
250 million non-US users to 4.3 billion Internet users (excluding the US) is about 5.8%. Compared that to 23% in the US.
Twitter is very US-centric.

If Twitter is 20% American users, how can that be considered "US-centric?" The vast majority of Twitter's users are not in the US...

Because the conversation was about Americans taking Twitter too seriously, not Twitter's discourse being dominated by Americans. The relevant metric seems to be the percentage of each population using twitter.
