Twitter to wipe Trump's followers before Biden handover

He is a really really really bad actor, not unlike a piece of malware, and like malware he should be quarantined and have all connections to him removed for the safety of the system and users.

Clickbait headline differs from actual reality:

> Twitter has confirmed that the official US presidential accounts will be wiped of their millions of followers before being transferred to the Biden administration.

So, the official accounts of @VP, @FLOTUS, @PressSec, @Cabinet, @WhiteHouse, @POTUS, etc will have their followers reset to zero despite Biden's team fighting against Twitter's decision. Not his personal accounts.

Sometimes it is better to use a different source than this article.

My question: Why?

Biden's team doesn't want this. This hasn't been done in the past, either. So why are they doing this? I don't think it's just to stick their thumb in Biden's eye. But what other reason do they have?
