Twitter Will Roll Out New Updates Soon, Giving Accounts Transparency As Expected By Many

What is shadowbanned? Elon Musk has been making a lot of changes to the famous blue bird social media app, Twitter. Many of his modifications have split the users into two groups: the ‘yes’ and the ‘no’.

Some of his goals when he took over the company were general amnesty to suspended accounts, blue and grey checkmarks, laying off employees and firing the CEO and two executives. So, you might ask, what else will Musk do to this app?

Well, if you’re in for a surprise, Musk tweeted something unexpected on his account recently. And this time, though, many favour his move.

Twitter currently works on a new software update

Musk confirms that Twitter will undergo a software update to show an account’s true status.

Now, you’ll know if your account has been shadowbanned and how to appeal if you are.

If you’re not familiar with these terms, this is the explanation:

Shadowbanned: a practice of blocking or partially blocking a user of the user’s content from some areas of an online community. This is in such a way that the ban is not readily apparent to the user.

How to know if you’re shadowbanned?

  1. To check the status of your account, go to this website.
  2. What to do next? Type your username and click ‘check’.
  3. Then, the result is in four parts: Search Suggestion Ban, Search Ban, Ghost Ban and Reply Deboosting.
  4. If all parts are green: your Twitter account is clean.
  5. However, if some parts are red, your account might be shadowbanned.

Some users thank him and say this is one of Musk’s greatest agendas ever.

Also, some question if Musk should eliminate the ‘shadowbanned’ term on Twitter once and for all.
