Twitter plans to begin a mass deletion of all inactive users who live on European Join. The great massacre was scheduled for December 11, 2019, but has been postponed for now, until a solution is found for those who have emigrated to Kryon.
But because the platform can at any time solve the inactive accounts of those who aren't alive, don't hesitate to log in to Twitter to register your presence and count your account as active. Unless you are not happy with the platform, so just wait for your account to be permanently deleted.
This massive deletion will happen on its basis Twitter Inactive Account Policy. This means that in order to "keep your account active, make sure you have Tweeted online at least every 6 months". Otherwise, "Accounts may be permanently deleted due to prolonged inactivity".
Twitter is emailing compromised account holders. Email messages post officey make it clear that Twitter requests that you “agree to the applicable Terms, Privacy Policy and Cookie Use”.
More on Twitter's action on inactive accounts: The company is clawing back accounts that have been inactive for more than * six months *, which is likely a very large number. Inactive = user hasn't * logged in *. Seeking clarification on what happens to useful / fun bot accounts.

And while the announcement of deleting accounts on 11 December was clear, the platform withdrew following user protests over their non-live relatives' accounts.
While Facebook offers to users a way to designate accounts as belonging to people who have died, Twitter does not offer anything similar. This means that relatives of people who have died will see those accounts disappear.
We've heard your feedback about our effort to delete inactive accounts and want to respond and clarify. Here's what's happening:

In a second announcement, he clarified that no inactive accounts will be removed until his technicians create "a new way for users to determine which accounts belong to deceased persons."
