SAN FRANCISCO – Celebrities and politicians, start kissing your Twitter followers goodbye.

On Wednesday, the social media service said it would begin removing large numbers of Twitter profiles that had been included in people’s follower counts — even though these profiles had been frozen by the company’s security team for suspicious behavior, rendering them completely inactive for significant periods of time.

Twitter said the most popular accounts could experience a “significant drop” in followers over the next week. Twitter appeared to be getting a head start on the purge Tuesday night: President Trump lost about 100,000 of his 53.4 million followers and President Obama lost about 400,000 of his 104 million followers.

The move by Twitter is the latest in a series of hard choices that the company is making to prioritize cleaning up its platform – rife with spam, trolling, and other questionable practices – over metrics that inflate the service’s popularity. The company said the effort would affect about six percent of follower counts across the service. Twitter has 336 million users logging in monthly, but many of the frozen profiles were not active at least once a month.

Trump will be embarrassed, so he will attack Hillary, CNN, Germany, New York Times, Bezos, and Schumer.

I'll be curious to see how many followers I lose. I know that Russian bots/trolls are among those who have followed Traces of Texas.

I still haven't gotten that check that you get for having Twitter followers.

I tweeted about Andrew Luck's disgusting slobbery yuckmouth 5-6 years ago, and for some reason, whatever combination of words I used was irresistible to Russian Sexbot searches. It's died down lately, but for a while there, I would get a Like for that tweet, followed by a follow from the Russian Sexbot, and a few days later, the account would be purged and all evidence would be erased from my likes and followers. It went on for a couple of years, with batches of 2-4 Sexbots trickling in every month or two.
