        What I’m trying to say, but it doesn’t seem to be coming across clearly, is that the news and videos about the recent airplane accident in Tokyo can definitely be found on places such as Threads.

          What we're counting is where the originals were posted. Not reposts. People chose to upload their personal experiences to Twitter.
