Hong Kong (CNN Business) Twitter (TWTR) is rethinking part of its plan to remove inactive accounts from the service starting next month after receiving feedback that it would be effectively eliminating posts from some people who've died.

"We've heard you on the impact that this would have on the accounts of the deceased," Twitter said in a statement on Wednesday. "This was a miss on our part."

The company said it plans to introduce a "new way" for its users to "memorialize" accounts on the service. It does not intend to remove inactive accounts prior to the introduction of that feature.

The company's update comes just a day after Twitter warned users who haven't logged in for at least six months that their accounts could soon be gone. Its decision to press pause on that move highlights the struggle tech companies face to manage their platforms while dealing with the potential consequences of every product change.

"We're working to clean up inactive accounts to present more accurate, credible information people can trust across Twitter," a spokesperson previously told CNN Business. "Part of this effort is encouraging people to actively log in."
