On December 9, CEO Musk announced on his Twitter page, “I’m releasing 1.5 billion account names. This means deleting accounts that have not tweeted or logged in for years.

Twitter had previously stated that accounts that have not been used for a long period of time may be deleted, but the criteria for this was not made public.
