Twitter announced yesterday that it start purging millions of accounts today. The micro-blogging platform specified that it would be removing locked accounts from follower counts across profiles globally, so we were to expect a drop in follower counts today. The accounts that Twitter will be purging today are locked accounts that the company ‘detected sudden changes in account behaviour’ and if the owners didn’t validate their accounts, they were henceforth purged.

Twitter said that a lot of people would see a change of about 4 followers or fewer but those people with larger follower accounts would experience a more significant drop.

Well, it is currently happening and people have started noticing the drop in follower accounts.

Starting with the more popular accounts on Twitter, Katy Perry, the most followed person on Twitter has lost over 2 million, Twitter itself has lost a cool 7.5 million, Obama over 2 million and interesting enough, Donald Trump has only lost 100,000 followers.

Well this is not over and this will continue for the rest of the day. I guess now people will get to know their true audiences, but I don’t believe the actual reach would be hampered in any way.

More of Scams accounts and some people registering them to sell again. Very annoying

Ok

Nice move. They should also block accounts feeding individuals pornography.

Foolish OP, why can't you tell us about the African celebrities instead

Abeg oooo, make them no remove my follower.

Same thing facebook should do there are probably just 200million active users on fb out of the over a billion registered account.

Who are those people following katty Perry? Them no get work,? Like WTF?



here in naija, if u don't have a twitter account self, Village people will still follow u

Twitter is dead.. who uses twitter these days? Only liars, cheats and story tellers

I never knew Twitter was a blogging platform...

what is ur problem?

some celebs right now after buying dormant accounts to follow them

Please they should delete everybody let start afresh, because some people followed some people by mistake. At the end you will see buhari will not have up to 10 followers, only his wife, his daughters and cow will follow him. Oh I forget his transmission police

Hmmmmm.......

What do I even use them to do.......



I'd rather have 10k true followers than the 1.2m I'm having right now

Ronaldo go lose well well, with all those plastic Man Urinated, Fake Madrid and chelshit fans following him with 'bot profiles.

And Beyonce too, with her nasty, aggresive Beyhive, or Beyshit fan base.

Must everything be political? Comparing Obama and Trump again.
Many people knew Obama before Trump. so its expected and shouldn't be a big deal.

.

So many of us here lack home training sha! Seun should just introduce IQ test in the Sign Up form already.

he should be in Argentina,

Last I saw him he was on his way to the Airport out of Russia

If I had 1,000,000 followers, I'll be a millionaire in dollars!

Now, what of a 100m?

I'm sure mine must've decreased from 5k to 4k

Why can't you be a civil and mature? You're calling the OP foolish simply because this a faceless forum. Is it an indication of a faulty and terrible upbringing on your part or what?

Now I agree lots of kids have permeated this forum. Very disrespectful and mannerless lots.

lol
