Fuck Elon says Yulia Navalny's account is Shadowbanned

I don't know if its true. But I would NOT doubt it. Shadowbanned means its excluded from search results. IIRC

So less likely to be found when you're reading about a topic.

But I just checked, and found her just fine in my results. So doesn't seem to be shadowbanned.

Russian hackers probably tried some shit, Twitter's automated system flagged the account. The admins saw and undid it. The end.

But it's the Internet, so, everything has to be an 11. Can't just be, like, a 3.

Only to check and find the situation fine. Accounts get flagged, particularly new accounts. And hers would no doubt be targeted by fuckery. People try to find all kinds of ways to get accounts auto-flagged by the software. Go to Reddit sometime and see how often things get flagged by people reporting accounts for suicide threats. (Oh, it's a whole thing).

I checked when I read the post and a few social media comments. The account is fine. She's literally the top result when you search her name.

It seems like the auto-flagging got resolved fairly quickly. So, a 3. Not an 11. There was a problem, it got fixed, Tuesday continues.

Instead of a social media freak out.

I recommend it to everyone.

I think I included a disclaimer. Check it for yourself.

I had to go directly to her profile.

This was a half hour ago.
