Pretty sure I'm shadow banned on Twitter now for bringing up nostr and trying to bring awareness of this future on that bird app. My engagement since I started brining up nostr and damus has been literally dead. Maybe it's ironic timing but doubtful.

This lack of transparency in social media moderation bothers me. If they’re going to suppress someone’s tweets, they could at least let her know.
Yep, that's a really slimy thing to do. And it should be against the law. Congress needs to get on that and so much more..👍🙂
I don’t like the idea of government control over moderation policies. No one has to use Twitter/X, and anyone is free to compete.
I don't think it's an issue of moderation policies. I think it's an issue of censorship of free speech. I think shadow banning is a very fraudulent and illegal way of conducting business.
It should be banned, hard and fast. Therefore I think it's primarily a responsibility of congress and the courts to get it done. And to protect the publics civil rights..🤔
A right to free speech on someone else’s property? I doubt there’s a case that Twitter is defrauding users, since they reserve the right to limit the reach of tweets in their terms of service. But if they are violating a contract, the proper remedy is a lawsuit, not for Congress to pass a law to restrict their moderation policies.
Congress has broad powers and responsibility to regulate business practices that endangered the public or violate their rights.
You and I will never agree. You believe in Small government, which is a code word for no government. I believe in Good government which is a code word for government as a public service..🙂
