We collected more than 2 million tweets posted in the U.S. and India over a 3 month period which contain interpersonal relationship keywords.
We found differences in emotion, topic, and content disclosed between tweets from the U.S. versus India.

- Abstract: We present an exploration of cultural norms surrounding online disclosure of
information about one's interpersonal relationships (such as information about
family members, colleagues, friends, or lovers) on Twitter. The literature
identifies the cultural dimension of individualism versus collectivism as being
a major determinant of offline communication differences in terms of emotion,
topic, and content disclosed. We decided to study whether such differences also
occur online in context of Twitter when comparing tweets posted in an
individualistic (U.S.) versus a collectivist (India) society. We collected more
than 2 million tweets posted in the U.S. and India over a 3 month period which
contain interpersonal relationship keywords. A card-sort study was used to
develop this culturally-sensitive saturated taxonomy of keywords that represent
interpersonal relationships (e.g., ma, mom, mother). Then we developed a
high-accuracy interpersonal disclosure detector based on dependency-parsing
(F1-score: 86%) to identify when the words refer to a personal relationship of
the poster (e.g., "my mom" as opposed to "a mom"). This allowed us to identify
the 400K+ tweets in our data set which actually disclose information about the
poster's interpersonal relationships. We used a mixed methods approach to
analyze these tweets (e.g., comparing the amount of joy expressed about one's
family) and found differences in emotion, topic, and content disclosed between
tweets from the U.S. versus India. Our analysis also reveals how a combination
of qualitative and quantitative methods are needed to uncover these
differences; Using just one or the other can be misleading. This study extends
the prior literature on Multi-Party Privacy and provides guidance for
researchers and designers of culturally-sensitive systems.

and China: a Cross-Cultural Examination [6.353109707205691]
This paper examines the differences between Twitter (X) in the United States and Sina Weibo posts in China on two primary dimensions of affect.
We observe that for Twitter users, the variation in emotional intensity is less distinct between negative and positive emotions compared to Weibo users.
From language features, we discover that affective expressions are associated with personal life and feelings on Twitter, while on Weibo such discussions are about socio-political topics in the society.

Another observation is that memes can propagate globally through repackaging in different languages and that they can also be multilingual.

We analyze two social media that enforced opposite moderation methods, Twitter and Gab, to assess the interplay between news consumption and content regulation.
Our results show that the presence of moderation pursued by Twitter produces a significant reduction of questionable content.
The lack of clear regulation on Gab results in the tendency of the user to engage with both types of content, showing a slight preference for the questionable ones which may account for a dissing/endorsement behavior.
