Twitter has been overstating its number of active users for nearly three years.
The spy gay sex videocompany admitted this in its quarterly earnings report for the first quarter of 2022.
"In March of 2019, we launched a feature that allowed people to link multiple separate accounts together in order to conveniently switch between accounts. An error was made at that time, such that actions taken via the primary account resulted in all linked accounts being counted as mDAU. This resulted in an overstatement of mDAU from Q1’19 through Q4’21," the report says.
The difference in users counted ranges from 1.4 million to 1.9 million daily users, with the largest difference found in the last quarter of 2021, the company announced.
The error doesn't dramatically impact Twitter's results, given that the company currently has 229 million active users (with hope that the number is accurate this time). It is, however, telling that Twitter has already made a similar mistake once before, having counted its monthly active users inaccurately back in 2017.

Twitter also said that, given the company's agreement to be acquired by Elon Musk, it would not be providing any forward looking guidance, and is withdrawing all previously provided goals and outlook.
