A new era is about to begin on X, the world’s most popular microblogging platform. Andrea Conway, one of the designers of the platform, officially announced a new feature that will be available in X. The upcoming new feature reveals that transparency on the platform will be increased.
Internet users may sometimes be subject to hidden restrictions. This situation, also known as “shadowbanning”, means that users’ visibility is reduced due to some of their posts. This is exactly what the new feature coming to X is about. The platform will notify users who have been subjected to shadowbanning in the near future. In this way, the user will see what he did wrong and whether he is subject to restrictions.
This is what X’s new feature will look like:
Users will be able to see some announcements on the notification page when the feature in question becomes available. These announcements, in their simplest terms, will inform you that the user has been exposed to shadowbanning. The user who touches the notification will see a text explaining why he/she is subject to such a restriction. The account owner can appeal when he thinks the decision is wrong.
In fact, X has been shadowbanning since before it was called Twitter. However, the user was not aware of this. The decrease in the viewing and interaction level of the posts made the user suspicious, but no result was achieved. This situation will change with the new feature of X. Meanwhile; We should point out that this feature is not surprising. Because Elon Musk has been saying that this is a serious problem and will be fixed since he purchased the platform. Looks like those days have come…
