According to data analyzed by Bot Sentinel, Twitter has already lost 877,000 users, give or take, and nearly half a million other accounts have been suspended. This number is huge, but only becomes startingly when you consider the timeframe in which this happened: four days spanning from October 27, the day Musk announced that the Twitter deal had been finalized, and November 1. Though the number of Twitter accounts in existence at any given time is always in flux, MIT reports that the number of suspended and deactivated accounts doubled during those four days compared to what is seen on average.
The suspended Twitter accounts differ from the deactivations, of course: a deactivation is when a user makes the decision to shut down their own account, while a suspension is something Twitter applies to an account. The company has had to crack down on a number of trolls and hateful accounts that caused abuse and racism to skyrocket on Twitter in the days surrounding Musk’s acquisition. Though the reasons these accounts were suspended in recent days are unknown, it’s likely safe to say they violated the company’s rules… or maybe they were just a bunch of bots all along.
