Twitter/X

A Mastodon user has asked whether people on the decentralised network are subject to shadowbanning similar to that reported on Instagram, Twitter/X and Google, and describes the practice as state-sponsored cyber terrorism. The post names governments including Russia, China, Turkey, the UK and the EU, and invokes figures such as Putin and Erdogan. No evidence is offered that Mastodon applies shadowbans; the claim appears to be a personal grievance rather than a documented practice on the platform.
