Twitter to delete 6% of all accounts in huge cull

Twitter users are set to see a dip in their followers, as the firm prepares a major purge of locked accounts. Tens of millions of suspicious accounts will be removed in the cull, with up to 6 per cent of all accounts potentially deleted. Locked accounts are restricted from posting by the social media site when it detects activity such as tweeting a large volume of unsolicited replies or mentions, and must be verified by owners before they can be unlocked. The firm said the removal of locked accounts – believed to number in the millions – is part of effort to "improve the health" of conversation on the platform by deleting suspicious and inactive accounts. Twitter's dark blue Night Mode is a lot easier on your eyes than its regular, vibrant theme. On the site, you can enable it by clicking your profile photo (on the right-hand side of the bar at the top of the screen) and selecting Night Mode.
