Twitter plans to remove inactive accounts amid user concerns over deceased loved ones

Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced the platform will purge dormant accounts that have been inactive for years.
The purge will likely lower follower counts for some users and free up desirable usernames.
Though the policy change was meant to remove bot accounts, users worry it will delete accounts of dead loved ones with no option to memorialize them.
Musk previously threatened to take away the verified badge from legacy media organizations like NPR.
The decision is the latest in a series of controversial changes Musk has made since buying Twitter in October.
