Elon Musk is starting the cleanup on Twitter. A new tweet shared by the company CEO said that accounts that have been inactive for a long time will be “archived”. Musk has previously stated that they want to clear inactive accounts, and now he is putting this plan into practice.
Twitter archives accounts that don’t post
Twitter, which changed completely after Musk’s purchase, is now starting to remove old accounts. It was stated that accounts that have not been active and shared for several years will be suspended. In a statement shared by Elon Musk, “We have been clearing accounts that have had no activity for several years, so you will likely see a drop in follower counts.”
According to the Twitter CEO, this move is to ensure that previously taken but inactive usernames are wasted. He also said that abandoned accounts should not create a load on the platform.
It is unclear how big names will be affected by this decision. For example, although Apple has an official Twitter account, it has never shared and does not follow anyone. Musk said that deleted accounts will be archived, and that the content and information associated with these accounts will be preserved.
This decision of Twitter follows the platform’s various radical decisions to increase revenue. The platform has had difficulties retaining users and advertisers for some time. It removed the free blue ticks last month and started distributing it to anyone who bought a Blue subscription.
Recently, Twitter has also made changes to its content policies. According to Musk’s statement, more weight will be given to artificial intelligence for content control.
