Musk Says Twitter Will Tell Users If They’ve Been ‘Shadowbanned’

Twitter Inc. owner Elon Musk, continuing a shake-up of the platform he acquired in October for $44 billion, said the company will begin telling users if their posts have been suppressed and give them an avenue to appeal.

The announcement followed a Twitter thread by journalist Bari Weiss, who has been granted access to company documents, saying that conservative commentators had their tweets downplayed by employees — a process known as “shadowbanning.” She and writer Matt Taibbi have been publishing findings from the trove of documents in a series they have called “The Twitter Files” — with Musk cheering them on.
