Twitter will do away with accounts that have been inactive for several years, CEO Elon Musk announced in a tweet. In a separate tweet, Musk clarified that these accounts will be archived and that this action is "important to free up abandoned handles". Musk added that users on the micro-blogging platform could see a drop in follower count because of it.
According to Twitter's policy, users should log in to their account at least once every 30 days to avoid permanent removal due to prolonged inactivity.
Earlier this month, Musk "threatened" to reassign National Public Radio's Twitter account to another company, after the public broadcaster stopped posting content to its 52 official Twitter feeds in protest against a Twitter label that implied government involvement in its editorial content. Twitter last month removed the legacy verified blue tick from the profile of thousands of people, including celebrities, journalists and prominent politicians.
