Twitter giving locked users control of their accounts back
SAN FRANCISCO: After a year-long lockout, Twitter is finally allowing several locked users regain control of their accounts once again.
Accounts created by those under 13, were frozen owing to the General Data Protection Law (GDPR) that came into force on May 25 last year, which stipulates that the age of consent for using online services should not be lower than 13.
Twitter had locked down several accounts owing to age restriction. The process also locked out users who said they were now old enough to use Twitter’s service legally.
“Starting today, we’ll email those eligible with details on how to unlock your account.
