FAQ
If you want to get it, we’d recommend you try to buy some of these and forget about finding a way to hack into them. It might be harmful to you, plus buying is more stable and brings definite results.
If the problem is that if the profile has your brand’s name or your pseudonym that was copyrighted, you can contact the support group and try to manage that question with them.
In other conditions reporting such a page is useless, as this social media website does nothing to ghost accounts unless these are logged out of the system for more than 6 months.
You should contact the technical support group and manage that question with them. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t give you a one hundred percent warranty that your name will belong to you on this social media website and that the ghost page that bothers you will be deleted.
As we have said, there is no way to take over, but you can use this link https://help.twitter.com/en/forms/authenticity/impersonation and select an option of “An account is pretending to be me or someone I know”.
If after that you will be able to prove that you’re somehow bound to the name this page is occupying, it’s possible that you will be able to get the name.
To see that follows you or that you are following, go into your follows or followers and check all of them for the date of their last tweet. If you have hundreds or thousands of those, use third-party services that allow you to create the list of inactives and then purge them. The examples of such services are given in the previous paragraphs.
No, it doesn’t. This social media website does literally nothing to such pages as the users have the right to not post anything or read anyone for as long as the profile is regularly logging in.
If you need to check these pages, you can use such services as Circleboom, Untweeps, Crowdfire, and Manageflitter.
Or you can do it by hand, checking all your follows and followers for the date of the last tweet. Purging steady profiles is helpful for managing your follows and followers ratio and working with your statistics.
If you got a warning that your profile might be deleted because it wasn’t interacting with the system in any way, you should log into your profile as quickly as possible.
After that happens, you can remain the same as this social media website gives its users a right to stay online, but not post anything and not interact with anybody for as long as they want to.
If that profile has your brand’s name or your copyrighted pseudonym you can try to use this link https://help.twitter.com/en/forms/authenticity/impersonation and select an option of “An account is pretending to be me or someone I know”.
If you will be able to prove that you actually have the right to use that name on any social media, the page might be deleted. Though we have to say that each case is very individual.
As long as these log into the system frequently (once in a half a year), Twitter doesn’t shut them down.
You can try to contact the technical support group and prove that you have actually copyrighted that name. You should send an application that will say that an inactive account is actually “pretending to be me or someone I know” and adds some proof to it.
After that, you might be able to get your name, but each case is very individual and depends on staff a lot.
Only if you will be able to prove that this page is actually impersonating you or someone you know. In other words, you have to prove that this username is your copyright and that you’re the only person who can use this username on social media.
Otherwise, Twitter will do nothing and this account will remain if it is logging into this social media net regularly, at least once in 6 months.
Only if the person who has copyrighted the username will prove that it is in fact his or hers, or if this page will be logged out for more than 6 months. Only after that time span technicians might delete this inactive profile. But it still has a chance to restore all the data for 30 days after the moment of deletion.
When they don’t log in for more than 6 months.
You can do it by yourself, simply checking the date of the last tweet and what actually was in this tweet. There might be no tweets and replies at all — this is a big sign that the page wasn’t active from the very beginning and that the person behind it will very unlikely start posting something in the nearest future.
No, it doesn’t, unless the account was logged out for more than 6 months. Then technicians might remove it from this social media website.
This is a hard question to give an easy answer to, but if we are looking at the statistics of celebrities’ followers, we can definitely say that there are up to 60% of non-actives following them.
It varies from person to person, but the bigger the profile, the higher the chance that it has a pretty impressive number of non-active profiles standing behind its huge audience. If we’re talking about politicians, there might be up to 70% of the bot, spam, and non-active pages in their followers’ pool.
