“Twitter will notify followers of these accounts to provide context that the content will be archived and allow them the choice to follow the Biden administration's new accounts," Pacilio said. "For example, people who follow @WhiteHouse will be notified that the account has been archived as @WhiteHouse45 and given the option to follow the new @WhiteHouse account."
- netsharc 6y agoHonestly IMO it would be better if they kept followers, it might show some die hard red hat followers to see the other side of the political spectrum (although I have little hope nowadays that it would change minds). Then I realize it would mean a lot of people being very pissed off at Twitter, then I realized why Twitter is doing it... Gotta keep those ad-viewing engagement agents (aka users) happy!
- Fjolsvith 6y agoThe "die hard red hat followers" are expecting a media blackout, so the Twitter wipe will only reinforce their views of the political spectrum.
