Social media giant Twitter will embark on a major 'clean-up' mission on December 11, the company has revealed.
In the process, several accounts that have been inactive will be deleted so that the company 'can get accurate' information.
Currently, millions of people use Twitter as a quick tool of dissemination of credible information. It's a popular media outlet among top politicians and officials.
The purge will affect those who have been inactive. However, before the deletion, the users will receive a warning email.
“As part of our commitment to serve the public conversation, we’re working to clean up inactive accounts to present more accurate, credible information people can trust across Twitter," the company said, Wednesday.
"We have begun proactive outreach to many accounts who have not logged into Twitter in over six months to inform them that their accounts may be permanently removed due to prolonged inactivity.”
In October, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey led the company in banning political ads after it emerged that they were tampering with its credibility.
"A political message earns reach when people decide to follow an account or retweet," Dorsey wrote. "Paying for reach removes that decision, forcing highly optimized and targeted political messages on people. We believe this decision should not be compromised by money."
Dorsey said it would be "not credible" for Twitter to tell users it's committed to stopping the spread of misinformation while allowing advertisers to target users with political ads just because they've paid Twitter to do so.
