There's a Twitter Purger going on at the moment as the social network site begins the process of deleting over 70 million (fake, dormant, Inactive, spam, bots) accounts as announced by its CEO, Jack Dorsey.
Jack who has also lost 200,000 followers to the purge earlier announced that, 'this week we’ll be removing locked Twitter accounts (locked when we detect suspicious changes in behavior) from follower counts across profiles globally. The number of followers displayed on many profiles may go down'.

As long as Twitter isn't purging REAL accounts, I'm all for it. But I wonder? Are they doing this with celebrity accounts also? #TwitterPurge— Clifton Shepherd (@CliffShep) July 12, 2018
Wow, I lost around 110 fake followers in the Great Twitter Purge of 2018.— Chris Krewson (@ckrewson) July 12, 2018
Awww, I heard that there was a Twitter bot purge and thought "wow I must be sub 100 for follower now". I lost 2. That mean you all are (most likely) humans. pic.twitter.com/E57ZCFFfeE— Loeken1 W.D.D.B. (@Loeken1_) July 12, 2018
So if anyone sees a HUGE drop in their twitter followers, there was a purge of 7.5 million fake accounts. #PSA#goodbyefakefollowers— Lindsay Senter (@Lindsay_Senter) July 12, 2018
This Twitter purge ruined me. I thought HotChick85315805 and I had something special.— Eric (anonymous source) (@Sports1nTheLand) July 12, 2018
I didn't lose a single follower in today's great Twitter purge. Which apparently means that none of my followers are fake. Which is kind of ironic.— Fake Globe Elevator (@GlobeElevator) July 12, 2018

so twitter decided to start a purge on deleting all accounts that are related to spam, violence or have just been very inactive resulting to everyone losing followers.— ? (@ArianaGrandeXOL) July 12, 2018
Twitter purge has killed off over 1000 of my followers, and I can only hope they were made to suffer first— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) July 12, 2018
I don't think I lost any followers in the Twitter purge. I guess that means my followers are real, and they're spectacular.— Jason Foster (@ByJasonFoster) July 12, 2018

So what is the Twitter purge everybody talking about pic.twitter.com/asC1ikIBJz— Dayss (@sunnydaisyb) July 12, 2018
Heh.
I know I'm good on the Twitter bot purge because I check to see who people are if they intend to follow me.
And the odds are 50/50 that I block. If I don't have any shared interests with this person, I figure they are up to shenanigans.— Only Civil About Star Wars Mrs. Raven (@CassandraCorvid) July 12, 2018
