Musk & Trump are now one & the same. Your Twitter data is Trumps now.
Here's how to mitigate:
1) Create a new Twitter account no identifying names etc.
2) Got to the account you're trying to obscure & change ur @/handle to make it available.
3). QUICKLY Go to the new account and change it's @handle to ur original @/handle
4). Deactivate your original account.
Eventually your original data will cycle out of their backups & nobody can take your handle.
It is done >
@th3j35t3r Thank you. I followed your steps the other day and it worked, even though I had to wait almost two hours to be allowed to make the handle changes.
Interestingly, today I went onto Twitter with my new empty account and the first three things on the feed were Musk, Alex Jones, and Rep Marsha Blackburn... but sure, the site is completely unbiased. LOL I immediately signed out and I don't foresee going back in.
I am happier without the noise of it all.
@ChippySuave The thing is even your new handle can ultimately be taken because part of the terms of service is that your account has to be active for you to keep it. I can't remember if that's at least one tweet every 6 months or so. I don't want anyone to get my handle.
