From an Indian perspective, from the Twitter files, shadow banning 40k accounts 99 percent of them being conservative while all the while saying they aren’t doing anything like this was shady. Add to that there was no prep to the accounts too, it was just provided without any evidence by an online only news publisher who recently posted fake news about Facebook and got caught.

Why the down vote ? Reference from times of India https://m.timesofindia.com/world/uk/twitter-files-reveal-hin...

Article from 2019 Twitter denying any such shadow bans are occurring https://theprint.in/politics/new-allegation-against-twitter-...

Another reference from bbc that shows wire.in removing fake articles about Facebook/meta https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-63226111

Do you happen to have a different source handy that presents the same content?

I read it 3 times, the headline and content do not match, and it doesn't negate anything about shadow banning Indian Twitter accounts
