Internet minute

In Internet slang, internet minute refers to a brief look at what happens around the world within a space of just 60 seconds on the world wide web. The internet minute takes account on social media platforms and other internet access services.[1] It further elaborates that generally it takes a nanosecond for a breaking news story to be dubbed as fake and or a conspiracy theory on the social media platforms.[2][3]

The word was first coined in a tweet by a person named Stewart Stafford in his official Twitter account on 19 January 2018.[4]

As of 2017, in a space of one minute in the internet around 46, 200 photos and posts were shared in Instagram. As of 2019, the logins in Facebook were reportedly estimated around 1 million in a single minute.[5] The numbers are estimated to surge in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
