I wonder, does the material they don’t approve of not even show up on the feed of the person posting it? I.e. if I already follow someone, or look them up in my browser, do I still see everything they’re posting, or does the “shadow ban” make things invisible to all but the poster?

Second, it will be interesting to see if Trump reacts to this exposure of his most useful tool. Presumably Twitter isn’t shadow-banning him because too many people would notice if something he wanted to post wasn’t visible. But, this would be an excellent excuse for him to excoriate Twitter for their leftist censorship, and to pull up stakes for a more even-handed tool. The only catch would be that he’d have to find a way to do it so they couldn’t launch some kind of legal action for destroying their stock price (which almost certainly would happen if he and Red America abandoned it).

With any luck, this exposure by O’Keefe will tank their stock first, so Trump can get out without being blamed for their collapse.

You will see it on your device but none of your followers will see it on theirs, ergo, you think it’s there but it’s not. It’s just on your device....................

“One strategy is to shadow ban so you have ultimate control. The idea of a shadow ban is that you ban someone but they don’t know they’ve been banned, because they keep posting and no one sees their content. So they just think that no one is engaging with their content, when in reality, no one is seeing it.”
