Sanjay Sharma of 4 pm says that he has a twiiter account on x, @Editor_SanjayS seems to have a "shadow ban" (ie block a user from a social media site or online forum without their knowledge, typically by making their posts and comments no longer visible to other users) If this is confirmed he promises to file a legal notice on whether this is because he keeps questioning the government.
(comment: the statement could be seen as a "subscriber" enhancing appeal. Yet someone who promised to take the matter up should be supported.. i am therefore subscribing, but unfortunately this youtube channel itself does not alow any comments.. )
https://www.vice.com/en/article/a3q744/where-did-shadow-banning-come-from-trump-republicans-shadowbanned Since the early days of the web, a “shadow ban” has been a moderation technique used to ban people from forums or message boards without alerting them that they’ve been banned. Typically, this means that a user can continue posting as normal, but their posts will be hidden from the rest of the community...Twitter also had a bug (since fixed!!)that caused some accounts to not be auto-suggested in search results even when people were searching for their names.
The Birth of a Conspiracy Theory
The idea that Silicon Valley giants use shadow banning to silence conservatives was popularized by far right publications over the last two years... Today, platforms like Twitter have to moderate millions of people—billions, in Facebook's case. Because of this scale, content moderation is significantly different. Moderators are rarely members of the communities they’re moderating and are instead people who are paid to action content that is reported by users for violating a platform’s rules or content that is surfaced by algorithms..... In the case of Holocaust denial for example, Facebook will sometimes “significantly reduce the distribution of content" rather than outright ban it.
