After year-long lockout, Twitter is finally giving people their accounts back

Twitter is finally allowing a number of locked users to regain control of their accounts once again. Around a year after Europe's new privacy laws (GDPR) rolled out, Twitter began booting users out of their accounts if it suspected the account's owner was underage -- that is, younger than 13. While Twitter's rules had stated that users under 13 can't create accounts or post tweets, many underage users did so anyway thanks to lax enforcement of the policy.
