Even if Twitter’s co-founders did not necessarily develop it to be a tool of democratization, that is precisely what it has become. In April 2009, young people in Moldova used Twitter to organize protests against their government.
即使推特的合伙创立者原本未必让它成为一种民主工具，但它已经负起了这样的职责。 2009 年 4 月，摩尔多瓦的年轻人利用推特组织反对政府的抗议活动。两个月后，推特又协助伊朗民众举行集会，并在组织大选抗议活动过程中实现信息共享。
