Putting this into context:-

Twitter currently has ~400M users, 50% of them DAUs [1]

Except it's not currently, it's from over a year ago ("Updated Jan. 05, 2022"). Back when Twitter still had an obligation to share DAUs because it was a public company.

Nobody outside Twitter knows the current amount of DAUs. Whichever number you find post Q3 last year is a pure guess.

Like FB there is most likely millions and millions of bot accounts. When in doubt, go with the 80%/20% rule.
