Celebrities around the world lost millions of followers on Twitter after the micro-blogging site deleted suspicious accounts.
"This specific update is focused on followers because it is one of the most visible features on our service and often associated with account credibility," Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's legal, policy, and trust and safety lead, wrote in a blog post, ANI reported.
"This week, we'll be removing locked accounts from follower counts across profiles globally. As a result, the number of followers displayed on many profiles may go down."
"Most people will see a change of four followers or fewer; others with larger follower counts will experience a more significant drop. We understand this may be hard for some, but we believe accuracy and transparency make Twitter a more trusted service for public conversation," Gadde added.
The followers of Twitter's primary account came down from 62.83 million to 55.1million.
