**Netizens Identify Ten Tweets That Reshaped Global Discourse**
(Netizens Sorted Out Ten Tweets That Changed The World)
[City], [Date] — A group of internet users recently compiled a list of ten social media posts they claim significantly influenced public opinion, policy, or culture worldwide. The project, crowdsourced through online forums, highlights how short messages can drive large-scale change.
The list includes tweets from activists, politicians, and ordinary individuals. One entry features climate activist Greta Thunberg’s 2018 post declaring, “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,” which fueled global climate strikes. Another is the 2017 #MeToo tweet by actress Alyssa Milano, sparking a movement against sexual harassment.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2021 tweet stating “Stay peaceful” during the Capitol riot also made the list. Critics argue it amplified tensions. The 2020 tweet “If you’re wondering why protests are happening, this is why” by musician Kahlil Greene, shared alongside a thread on racial injustice, is credited with boosting support for #BlackLivesMatter.
Other entries include the 2014 #BringBackOurGirls campaign demanding rescue of Nigerian schoolgirls, and a 2015 tweet by astronaut Scott Kelly showing Earth from space, raising climate awareness. The 2013 “Black Twitter” hashtag #IfTheyGunnedMeDown, critiquing media bias, is noted for reshaping discussions on race.
Analysts say the tweets were chosen based on reach, real-world impact, and lasting influence. Social media researcher Elena Torres commented, “These posts show how platforms turn personal voices into global conversations. They prove ideas can spread faster than ever.”
The project also cites tweets from outside the U.S. A 2021 post by Indian farmer Ravinder Kaur criticizing agricultural laws went viral, contributing to policy reversals. A 2012 tweet by Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai after surviving a Taliban attack drew global attention to girls’ education.

Organizers say the goal is to document how digital activism shapes history. “Tweets are more than text—they’re catalysts,” said one contributor. The list continues to spark debate, with some users arguing it overlooks non-English posts. Discussions on expanding the project are ongoing.
