Twitter By BBC’s David Lee:

More on Twitter's action on inactive accounts: The company is clawing back accounts that have been inactive for more than *six months*, which is likely a very large number. Inactive = user hasn't *logged in*. Seeking clarification on what happens to useful/fun bot accounts.

Actions Taken By Twitter:

• Twitter is reaching out to the users whose accounts are inactive from the last 6 months through emails. The company is giving them email notification regarding the deletion of their account.
• It is unclear and unsaid about those accounts which are operated by bots. Accounts that are never actually be logged in by a human. Might possibly they won’t get delete till they are posting content.

Opportunity:

Users who are looking for a particular username which is inactive can claim in December. But the owner has to be fast enough to get that particular username.
