Twitter CEO Elon Musk announces removal of inactive accounts, encourages users to stay active

Claire Martin Published May 8, 2023

Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced on Monday that the social media platform will be taking a significant step by removing accounts that have remained inactive for a prolonged period of time, spanning multiple years. This move is aimed at enhancing the user experience and fostering an active and engaged community on the platform. However, Twitter users should be prepared for a potential decline in their follower counts as a result of this initiative.

To avoid the permanent deletion of their accounts due to extended periods of inactivity, Twitter has established a policy requiring users to log in at least once every 30 days. This serves as a reminder for individuals to remain actively involved within the Twitterverse and maintain their accounts’ presence.

This latest development on the platform comes in the wake of a series of recent events, including the removal of the distinguished blue verification badge from numerous high-profile individuals. Celebrities, journalists, and prominent politicians were among those affected. This alteration sparked discussions surrounding the criteria and significance of the verification process.

We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop

Elon Musk has been actively involved in addressing the challenges faced by the social media platform. As part of his ongoing efforts, he has proposed the inclusion of account verification as a feature within Twitter’s Blue subscription service. This strategic move aims to combat the persistent issue of bot accounts and create a more authentic and trustworthy online environment.

The Twitter CEO recently found himself in the midst of a light-hearted controversy when he playfully threatened to transfer National Public Radio’s Twitter account to another organization. This amusing exchange stemmed from the broadcaster’s decision to cease posting content across its 52 official Twitter feeds as a protest against a Twitter label that implied government involvement in their editorial content.

Taken as a whole, the proactive measures taken by Twitter, including the removal of inactive accounts and the reevaluation of the verification process, demonstrate a strong commitment to refining user experiences and upholding the integrity of the platform. As Twitter continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these efforts impact user engagement and overall satisfaction with the platform.
