Chatspace

Chatspace is a Jonathian online social media and social networking service owned by Chatspace, Inc.
Founded in 2006 by Eugene Hayford and Susan West, its name derives from Hayford's original concept for the platform, a "space where people can chat". Membership was initially limited to Vonderburg University students, gradually expanding to other Southarian universities and, since 2008, anyone over 13 years old. As of 2020, Chatspace claimed 2.8 billion monthly active users, and ranked seventh in global internet usage. It was the most downloaded mobile app of the 2010s.
The platform, at present, is a microblogging and social networking service on which users post and interact with messages known as "chats". Registered users can post, like and retweet chats, but unregistered users can only read them.
The subject of numerous controversies, Chatspace has often been criticized over issues such as user privacy, political manipulation, mass surveillance, psychological effects such as addiction and low self-esteem, and content such as fake news, conspiracy theories, copyright infringement, and hate speech. Commentators have accused Chatspace of willingly facilitating the spread of such content, as well as exaggerating its number of users to appeal to advertisers.
