For the last three years, Twitter inflated its user numbers by 1.9 million

Twitter in its Q1 2022 financial report released today disclosed that it has exaggerated the figure of the platform’s users by 1.9 million in the last three years due to a technical error involving linked accounts. Twitter says an “error” introduced in Q1 2019, resulted in the overstatement of its monetizable daily active usage or users (mDAU). According to the company, this went on undiscovered for three years.
