The social media giant is pausing the process until it finds a way to memorialize the accounts of users who have died.
Twitter announced Wednesday that it will pause its plan to purge inactive accounts amid fears that deceased users would have their pages erased.
“We’ve heard you on the impact that this would have on the accounts of the deceased,” the company added. “This was a miss on our part. We will not be removing any inactive accounts until we create a new way for people to memorialize accounts.”
