<p>Being shadowbanned is being silenced or barred from a social networking site without being informed.</p>
<p>“I apologize for taking so long. The tech tycoon said, “There are so many levels of ‘trust & safety’ software that it often takes us hours to determine who, how, and why an account was suspended or shadowbanned.</p>
<p>He told the users that “a ground up rewrite is underway that dramatically simplifies the X codebase.”<br />
According to a post by Doge Designer, X is developing a feature that will let users check the status of their accounts.</p>
<p>The account stated: “The users will be able to check if they are shadowbanned or not & will also get to know the same.”<br />
“High Priority,” said Musk.</p>
<p>Musk attempted to show that shadowbanning was a widespread practice at the social network after purchasing Twitter (now X) in October of last year by regularly exposing material to the public.</p>
<p>In December of last year, he said that political candidates for office or seeking reelection both domestically and overseas were susceptible to “shadow-banning” by Twitter.</p>
<p>Musk said that planned updates to Twitter’s platform would reveal who had been “shadow-banned,” if they had, and what they might do to reverse that status.</p>
<p>“Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if you’ve been shadowbanned, the reason why, and how to appeal,” he had tweeted.</p>
