How long will my twitter account be deleted if I don't log in?

So is gmail, i have heard. This is crazy stuff. Another reason to automate the hell outta social media.
 
I don't know, I have acc that I never used, and I logged in after one year +, but it still works fine, but is before Elon purchased it. So I don't know how it changes now
 
I have some twitter accounts over 2 years ago. Haven't used them they work fine.
 
I believe this will be a one time situation due to many accounts are used to spam and never touched again once they got restricted, forgot passwords or created a new account they had no mentioned anything about a period of time before accounts get deleted.
 
Think its still the 6months or something...
 
Twitter's inactivity policy states 30 days you will be marked inactive. Actual purge time is undisclosed.
Gmails inactivity policy is now 2 years. Actual purge time undisclosed too.

i can understand Twitter where usernames are almost a commodity. But Gmail? Disk space is so cheap. Gmail can afford it.
What about all those account holders who are away. In prison. In a coma. Deployed overseas. Many more cases. Doesn't seem fair.
Best case scenario the username is forfeit and the data stays somewhere. But lets be real: that is unlikely.

Storage on spinning rust is cheap, but when you have 4 billion accounts and you give each account 15gb of free storage, that 60 billion gb of storage to take care of.

That's 60 exabytes of data. Last i checked an exabyte costed about 20 million just for the drives. So that's $1.2 billion just in raw storage. Then there's electricity, bandwidth, cooling, compute and devs to pay and we are looking a cool $5 billion.

Gmail and Workspace doesn't bring them a lot more than that. Naturally google would want to cut costs.

seeing how much they charge for the crappy customer service at adwords they can afford it :)
 
We have open accounts for more than two years, and so far, no issues have arisen.
 
Twitter account can be permanently deleted if there is no login activity for six months.
