I think the point would be to set it up so he *can’t* get back in whenever he wants. The point of deleting his account is to keep from being tempted to go back on there. Katie wants his tweets to stay up, so she’s saying he should not delete the account and instead keep himself from going back on there by giving her control over access to it. So presumably she’d get the password and the recovery email would be changed to hers. Similar to giving your car keys to a friend when drinking.
FWIW, I think this is unnecessary and puts them both in a weird position if he later demands she give the keys back, so I think he should just delete it.
Yeah I don’t suspect Katie will be a good restraint. Everything that she’s said so far makes me think she’ll give those keys back so quickly with any modicum of excuse he, an addict, might make for getting it back. She’s addicted to the Twitter too, from what I can see, because she puts so much stock in The Discourse.
