Ironically, exactly what Mr. Free Speech claimed constituted a violation of free speech, when it wasn't him doing it.
Shadow Banning is alot more narrow than general VF. VF could be used for reasons like maximizing time in the app, encouraging high value activities, etc...

If my reach is being artificially limited without my knowledge it's still shadow banning. It doesn't change anything if the purpose is selling more ads instead of personally disliking me .

The thing is, shadowbanning had a definition. Twitter at one point even defined the term in front of Congress I believe. Shadowbanning is Visibility Filitering, but not all Visibility Filtering is shadowbanning.
Unless everyone can use the same terminology to mean the same thing, these conversations are pointless.
No, if your reach is being artificially limited, that's not shadow banning. Shadow banning has a precise definition and that was my point above.

Who care's about Bari Weiss's definition? She tweeted many false things that day.
Presumably Elon does, given that he's feeding these people internal Twitter Files

HN loves shadow banning. It's enforced by the echo chamber mob.
