Hatsune Miku can perform for Lady Gaga or become a My Little Pony, but for a while there she couldn’t tweet. That’s because her Twitter account set her birthday as 2007, the year of her debut, and Twitter says you have to be at least 13 to have an account. While anyone born in 2007 would be at least 13 now, Twitter took issue with the idea that Hatsune Miku was tweeting before she was 13.
Rather than look into who Hatsune Miku is, Twitter responded by locking the account and threatening to remove it. However, it didn’t take long before the mistake was corrected, and the Hatsune Miku Twitter account is working again.
“oh, isn’t Twitter’s age restriction 13 years old? I can set the Twitter account’s birthday to Miku’s actual release year of 2007 now”

It’s a good thing, too, because we need to stay updated on the MIKU EXPO 2021 Online concert this June 6!
