The term "Black Twitter" is not in OED.  I'm embarrassed to say that I asked Chatgpt what is the earliest known occurrence of the term.  Below is its response.  I have not made any attempt to verify the citation.

Chatgpt says:

The earliest known published use of the term “Black Twitter” appears in an article titled “Black Twitter: A Starter Kit”, which was published on the online magazine The Root on February 4, 2010
