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 or a conspiracy theory on social media platforms.[2][3] A Pew Research Center study found that 64% of adults believe fake news stories administered confusion and 23% said they had shared fabricated political stories themselves – sometimes by mistake and sometimes intentionally.

Background of the Internet
January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday [5] of the Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other. It became popular to the public in the early 1990s. By 2020, around 4.5 billion people, which was more than half of the entire world population, had access to the world wide web. [6]
In 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 at around 1 million in a single minute.[7]
As of 2024, the internet is used by over 63 percent [8] of the world. Information is easily accessed across fifteen social media platforms, ranging from Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, X (formally known as Twitter), Snapchat and several more.
