You will undoubtedly see a decrease in followers if Elon Musk declares that Twitter would delete dormant accounts

 

Twitter's CEO, Elon Musk, announced in a tweet on May 8 that the social media network will delete accounts that have not been used for several years.

According to Twitter's rules, users must log into their accounts at least once every 30 days to prevent permanent deletion for extended inactivity.

However, Musk added on Monday that users on the microblogging site might experience a decline in follower count as a result of inactive accounts being disabled.

Since officially taking over Twitter this year, Musk has made significant changes to the social media platform.

Earlier this month, National Public Radio stopped publishing to its 52 official Twitter streams in protest of a Twitter label that suggested government involvement in its editorial content. As a result, Musk "threatened" to reassign NPR's Twitter account to another company.

The legacy verified blue tick on the profiles of thousands of people, including celebrities, journalists, and well-known politicians, was deleted by Twitter last month.

According to Musk, adding account verification to Twitter's Blue subscription will help to address the problem of bot accounts on the social networking site.
