Title: How to Deactivate Your Twitter Account (in only 30 days)
Post by: xairbusdriver on November 20, 2022, 03:59:56 PM

Like Facebook, Twitter doesn't believe you could ever want to delete your account. :wallbash: Somehow they both think you must have made some kind of mistake. :doh:

The following link explains what has to happen before your account is actually "deleted". It will take 30 days of complete inactivity before your account is "deleted". Be sure any other app that is using Twitter has completely eliminated its Twitter activity, especially any activity that would be using your username and/or password. That may affect you if you are reporting your weather info via the "Twitter" function in WC.

Twitter may retain some information on your deactivated account to ensure the safety and security of its platform and people using Twitter. More information can be found here (https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/data-processing-legal-bases).

 ;) . .. . Of course not!  After all, where would WeatherCat be if Stu's cats didn't have Twitter accounts? . . . . [cat]

 [wink] . . . . As for me, I have absolutely no concern participating in social media, so long as I use the one client that will never allow me express something I'll later regret - WeatherCat! . . . .  lol(1)

There are two types of countries in the world: Those who use the metric system; and those who landed on the moon.
