Twitter: Twitter is deleting accounts that haven’t been used in a while, according to Elon Musk’s announcement on Monday. He continued by saying that users on the microblogging site would see a decline in follower numbers.
The blue tick functioned as a method of defending famous people against impersonation
In his recent Tweet, Musk wrote, “We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop.” Users and advertisers have been alienated by Musk-mandated changes at Twitter, including staff reductions and the elimination of free verification checkmarks that were seen as seals of authenticity. The blue tick functioned as a method of defending famous people against impersonation and combating misleading information.

In order to make it easier for users to tell which accounts “of public interest” on Twitter are legitimate and which are fake or parody accounts, Twitter originally launched the blue tick mark system in 2009. Previously, the business didn’t charge for verification. After the ‘blue tick’ mess up, Musk declared on April 30 that starting in May, Twitter will permit media publishers to charge users on a per-article basis with a single click.
