Social media giants X (formerly Twitter) has warned users that they may potentially lose followers as the micro-blogging site undertakes another massive bot sweep.
The notification, which was released by X’s Safety account, revealed this information. It says that starting Friday, the firm would launch a “significant, proactive initiative” to remove accounts that break X’s policies regarding spam and platform manipulation.
In an effort to rid the platform of spam and bots, the X Safety team announced that it would be “casting a wide net,” which could lead to a decrease in the number of followers. This is typical behavior for its platform’s bot sweeps.
