Interesting, I'm curious why a wipe of followers of a government office twitter account. Does twitter do that for other similar official accounts?

What are the benefits to passing around an account like this? Doesn't this break old tweets after the transition?

Per the CNN article<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;edition.cnn.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;12&#x2F;22&#x2F;politics&#x2F;biden-twitter-white-house-accounts&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;edition.cnn.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;12&#x2F;22&#x2F;politics&#x2F;biden-twitter-wh...</a><p>“Twitter will notify followers of these accounts to provide context that the content will be archived and allow them the choice to follow the Biden administration&#x27;s new accounts,&quot; Pacilio said. &quot;For example, people who follow @WhiteHouse will be notified that the account has been archived as @WhiteHouse45 and given the option to follow the new @WhiteHouse account.&quot;

I think if I were Biden, I&#x27;d tell them if they want to wipe the account followers, just go ahead and delete all the accounts as well. I&#x27;m not going to expend effort to rebuild followers. We will stick with other methods of communication.<p>Twitter would about-face so hard Dorsey&#x27;s gross beard would fly off his face.
