Elon Musk said Twitter is working on a new software update that has a tool to let people know if they’ve been shadowbanned on the platform.
If done, the tool will also mention the reason for shadow-banning an account and let users appeal for that. This announcement comes right after the Twitter Files 2.0 release, where the report accused former Twitter executives of shadow-banning conservative personalities.
Shadow-banning on Twitter
Twitter, under Elon Musk , is slowly taking a new shape toward free speech, although the way is messy. The latest in this pursuit is a new tool to let users know if they’ve been shadowbanned on the platform.
Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if you’ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 9, 2022
