WHOA…Elon Musk Prepping To Delete Over A Billion Twitter Accounts…
https://patriotsbeacon.com ^ | December 13, 2022 | Patriots Beacon

Elon Musk revealed today that he will delete 1.5 billion user accounts from Twitter that have not been viewed in years or sent any tweets.

To free up desired online handles and names is the official justification stated.

However, I could only see that if these accounts were somehow taken over to boost follower numbers or like posts—they couldn’t have been used for other objectives. It’s possible that these accounts could have been utilized as automated user bots.

I don’t think this adjustment will resolve Twitter’s pervasive bot problem, you know—the ones we argue with who appear to back every Biden idea; any retweet, reply, media upload, or tweet shows up as activity on that account.

Many users suggested that Twitter’s infamous bot issue was to blame for this purge, but Musk stressed that these are the accounts with no verified login activity and no tweets.

Laughs.
Originally, I was suspended for posting a link to a very reasoned article putting forth the possibility that Kyle Rittenhouse MIGHT be innocent.
After the trial, their response changed to my posts were abusive and harassing…
Now when I appeal, I ask ‘‘em if they have ever actually read thru my posts….
Because, wow - all those prayer requests and replies -must be like holy water to a demon 😉

I do hope Elon doesn’t delete me since the reason have no activity, is because Twitter stopped me!

I see your George quote, and go one that also fits - “it’s a big club - and YOU(me ;) ain’t in it!”

I was just able to use my permanently suspended account to rate a community context report on this tweet.

Those bots were used also for stock fraud.
Facebook does the samething. Fake accounts and Wall Street raise the price.

#4 I have noticed this whenever it is an election year. People / bots you never heard of start posting and always in support of the democrats.
