Twitter accounts that have been inactive for more than six months were to be deleted next month. The social network finally postponed its project to later so as not to destroy the tweets of its deceased former users. 

Twitter cleans up. The social network has just announced that it intends to remove from its platform all accounts that have been inactive for more than six months. If a user of a dormant account has not logged into their profile by December 11, Twitter may delete them. In addition to cleaning the social network and eliminating a large number of fake subscribers, this operation should free up a very large number of user names. 

Users alerted by email:

If your Twitter account is in danger of being closed next month, you probably received an email from the social network. In the latter, the company invites you to connect to its site if you want to save your account. When asked by The Verge, Twitter nevertheless indicated that this would be a gradual process. Not all accounts will be closed on the same day. 

If the identifier you are carrying so much becomes available (for example a simple first name), you will then be able to take it. It is not yet known whether the change will be possible as early as December or whether the social network will leave a little time for the user who has lost his account.
