NPR published details of an email from Musk warning that its account could be reassigned to another organization if it remained inactive. The broadcaster had announced plans to leave Twitter after its account was labeled &#8220;government-funded media.&#8221; The dispute has raised questions about whether Musk can withdraw NPR\u2019s account under the platform\u2019s policies. Users can keep their accounts active by logging in at least once every 30 days, while Twitter\u2019s policies allow inactive accounts to be permanently deleted. However, inactive usernames cannot currently be released, and Twitter has yet to announce any policy updates clarifying when accounts may be taken away from users or media organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US media reports say Elon Musk threatened to reassign NPR\u2019s Twitter account after the broadcaster stopped using it amid a dispute over its labeling on the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/magic.aait.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/magic.aait.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/magic.aait.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magic.aait.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magic.aait.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/magic.aait.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35469\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/magic.aait.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magic.aait.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magic.aait.sa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
