Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Twitter CEO Elon Musk warned Monday that the platform would soon purge those zombie accounts, which could affect Twitter's overall fan base.

Musk tweeted: "We're purging accounts that have not had activity at all for years, so you may see fan numbers drop. "

Twitter's official policy currently states that if you don't log in to your account "every 30 days," you're inactive. But the April 19 policy is that users only need to log in once every six months to keep their accounts active. Twitter appears to have quietly updated the policy in the past few weeks.

Earlier, National Public Radio (NPR) announced its withdrawal from Twitter platform. Musk threatened to reassign NPR's Twitter account if he stopped tweeting.

In response to Musk's request for NPR to rejoin Twitter, NPR's correspondent argued that Twitter would violate its policy on inactive accounts if NPR's accounts were reassigned. NPR reporters said that NPR will only be bound by this policy if the login fails, Musk's statement violates the regulations.

NPR said: "When asked if he intends to change the platform's definition of 'inactive,' Musk did not answer. "

Many Twitter users still don't know what the platform's recent policy changes regarding inactive accounts mean.

In response to Musk's recent tweets, many Twitter users are asking whether former US President Donald Trump's account, which was previously suspended and has not tweeted since January 2021, will also be removed; whether Musk will make an exception for accounts that have been suspended and only recently returned to the platform. Others wondered what the policy change meant for accounts dedicated to honoring deceased celebrities.

Others wondered whether Twitter's decision meant that usernames for some long-inactive accounts might soon emerge. Twitter doesn't seem to have any intention of letting other users apply for inactive usernames yet, and its policy still states: "We can't post inactive usernames at this time. "But Musk moves quickly and this policy could change at any time.
