Mumbai: With Elon Musk taking over Twitter for $44 billion last year, there have been several changes made in the policies, rules and regulations by him. As an addition to his plans of upping engagement and revenue opportunities on the social media app, he announced on Monday that as part of Twitter’s policy, users would be required to log into their accounts at least once every 30 days to prevent permanent account removal due to inactivity.
He mentioned that Twitter is going to cancel accounts that have been inactive for several years.
“We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop,” tweeted Musk.
Twitter users and advertisers have been isolated, as a result of Musk’s decree to cut staff and remove free verification check marks.
After much dissent, Twitter’s blue ticks were reinstated on some media, celebrity, and other high-profile accounts towards the end of April.
Musk tweeted at the time that he was “paying for a few (subscriptions) personally.”
After the ‘blue tick’ fiasco, Musk declared on 30 April that starting in May, Twitter will permit media publishers to charge users on a per-article basis with a single click.
He tweeted, “Rolling out next month, this platform will allow media publishers to charge users on a per article basis with one click. This enables users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article. Should be a major win-win for both media orgs & the public.”
