Twitter Cancelling Inactive Accounts – Musk

Elon Musk on Monday announced that Twitter is canceling accounts that haven’t been used for a long time.

The move comes as Musk tries to ramp up engagement, and opportunities to make money, at the online platform he bought for $44 billion last year.

“We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop,” Musk revealed in a tweet.

Musk-mandated changes at Twitter from slashing staff to doing away with free verification check marks seen as stamps of authenticity have alienated users and advertisers.
