Twitter Cull
Twitter's user numbers are about to become more realistic, after the firm announced an imminent cull of inactive accounts—including those belonging to the deceased. So expect follower counts to go down and long-blocked usernames to become available. And if you're a user who hasn't logged in for the last six months but nonetheless wants to hang onto your username, look out for an email from Twitter telling you to use it or lose it. BBC

Short Twitter
Twitter added deep-learning expert Fei-Fei Li to the company's board of directors. Li, a co-director of Stanford University's Human-Centered AI Institute, oversaw the milestone ImageNet computer-vision contest that helped spur a renaissance in deep learning. She was also previously the chief scientist of A.I. and machine learning at Google, but left shortly after news organizations started reporting on Google's internal struggles over potential A.I. projects with the Pentagon.
WFH
Twitter will allow its employees to work from home indefinitely, even post-lockdown, unless their jobs require a physical presence. A few other companies such as Nationwide have made similar moves. In Twitter's case, the company does not expect its offices to reopen until September anyway. Buzzfeed

Why is Twitter even up today? I know it's just an executive order from Trump, but doesn't seem like it'll freak investors out? If Trump's order goes through, Twitter will get lawsuits up the A from everywhere.

Chinese disinformation
Twitter has removed over 170,000 China-linked accounts that have been spreading disinformation about Hong Kong, Taiwan and China's response to the coronavirus outbreak. Security analysts say Beijing's online disinformation tactics are starting to resemble those of Moscow. Twitter said the accounts "were largely caught early and failed to achieve considerable traction on the service, typically holding low follower accounts and low engagement." China's response? It said Twitter should remove accounts that smear China. CNBC
