Twitter has announced this on Tuesday and has added some details like the account removal process is going to start from the 11th of December. This gives the users a few week's time to safeguard their accounts. To safeguard the account the user just needs to login to their twitter account and boom it goes from the category of the inactive accounts to the category of the active accounts.

A spokesperson from Twitter has said in an official statement:

“As part of our commitment to serve the public conversation, we’re working to clean up inactive accounts to present more accurate, credible information people can trust across Twitter. Part of this effort is encouraging people to actively log-in and use Twitter when they register an account, as stated in our inactive accounts policy.”


As we have mentioned above Twitter is sending warning emails to the users who are inactive on Twitter the contents of the email are down below:

Hello,

To continue using Twitter, you’ll need to agree to the current Terms, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Use. This not only lets you make the best decisions about the information that you share with us, it also allows you to keep using your Twitter account. But first, you need to log in and follow the on-screen prompts before Dec. 11, 2019, otherwise your account will be removed from Twitter.

The removal of these inactive accounts is raising a question about spamming as there have been cases in the past where accounts that were deleted were renewed using bots and usernames were sold at a price.

We need to wait and watch to figure out if this step from Twitter will be beneficial or will end up in an increment of spams and bots. Drop your thoughts in the comments.
