Creative Commons (@creativecommons) — Twitter Score 28 out of 1000

Creative Commons is an international nonprofit organization that develops and stewards open copyright licenses and public-domain tools, and was founded by Lawrence Lessig, Hal Abelson, and Eric Eldred. The account has announced the end of its activity on X, directing its community to Mastodon and Bluesky instead. Creative Commons's Twitter Score is 28 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #34,889 (top 10%) among 486,860 tracked accounts.

Creative Commons builds legal and technical infrastructure that enables the sharing of knowledge and culture across the open web. Its license suite covers a range of permissions, from allowing broad reuse to restricting commercial use or derivative works, and its CC0 tool allows creators to dedicate works entirely to the public domain. Creative Commons has also addressed the intersection of its licenses with blockchain-based assets, clarifying that its licenses can apply to works underlying NFTs, while CC0 dedication does not affect ownership or transfer of the associated token itself.

Creative Commons has explored blockchain-adjacent tools in the past, including an experiment by Creative Commons France with Ascribe, a service that registered and timestamped CC-licensed works using the Bitcoin blockchain. Creative Commons has published 18,018 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 210 accounts a total of 1,121 times.
