Twitter won't let Joe Biden inherit Trump's millions of followers

[Counselor706]

"As Twitter will serve as both a venue for people to watch and talk about this political event, and play a key role in facilitating the transfer of official government communication channels, we want to be transparent and clear about what people should expect to see on the platform," they said in the announcement.

Biden will begin with a fresh account with zero followers and have to build up his following, they said.

Biden's digital director Rob Flaherty called the decision, "Absolutely, profoundly insufficient," in his own tweet.

"They're bending themselves over backwards to break with the 2017 protocol they set on the transfer of accounts, and also breaking with every other social platform in providing the new administration a follower base," he added.

It's about @POTUS account. That has some merit. Shouldn't be too hard to rebuild following either though.

I doubt Joe knows or cares how many twitter followers he does have. That's for venal narcissist's like Donald Trump to obsess over.

Not everybody worries about the trivial things that Trump does .
