This could lead to another impersonation problem for Twitter, which has already been plagued by this, as blue checkmarks are now purchasable
Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced that the social media platform will be “purging” accounts that have been inactive for several years. If you haven’t logged into your Twitter account in a while, you could be at risk of losing your handle. On the other hand, if you’ve been waiting for a specific handle to become available, you might be in luck soon.Follower Count may drop sharply after the Twitter Account Purge
Musk did not provide a timeline for when the account deletions would take place, but he did caution that people should expect their follower count to drop after the purge.
This announcement follows Musk’s previous statement in December 2022 that Twitter would start “freeing the name space of 1.5 billion accounts,” which he clarified would include obvious account deletions with no tweets or logins for years.
