Imagine you are talking but no one is listening to you. This is exactly what happens with shadowbanning. Users post, but their posts don't appear in other feeds. Twitter has known about this problem for a long time.

Musk's intervention: After Musk took over Twitter, he wanted to solve the shadowbanning problem. But instead of clear answers, he gave us an insight into the complex world of social media moderation.

The challenges of technology

Musk wants users to know if they are shadowbanned. But he runs into a problem: a complicated network of trust and security software. This network makes it difficult to find answers quickly.

What the expert says: Yoel Roth, formerly responsible for trust and security at Twitter, explains. He confirms that Twitter has old systems that are difficult to understand. Updating these systems is necessary, but has been delayed due to various factors.

What's next? Technological problems or not, users deserve transparency. It's important that they know where their contributions end up.

conclusion

Shadowbanning is an example of how important transparency is in the digital world. There are technical hurdles, but the goal should always be to provide clarity to users. It remains to be seen whether Musk can deliver on this promise.
