I was going to write this. It’s a way to prevent online identity theft, to avoid someone impersonating you online. I kept my social media accounts even though I stopped using them. If someone ever impersonates me, I can use these inactive accounts to say those are definitely mine.

It doesn't prevent identify theft. Someone can still create an account using your name.

  But no one can make you remove connections from an existing social media account.
