X, Formerly Twitter, Commandeers ‘@Music’ Handle From User With Half A Million Followers

Vaught created the “@music” account in 2007 and built a community of around half a million followers on the platform. His new handle, assigned to him by the company, is “@musicfan.” X terms of service say it has the right to take back a username — the threat of losing a handle could make it difficult for the company to convince creators to build there long-term.
