X Users Test for Shadowbanning with Visibility Checks

An Oglala Lakota account accused Elon Musk of throttling left-leaning posts, gaining over 10,000 likes as users from Sweden to England confirmed they could see it. Replies linked the concern to recently unsealed Epstein-Musk emails from 2012-2014, where Epstein proposed meetings that Musk denies pursuing. X denies shadowbanning based on politics, explaining visibility filtering targets spam or low-quality content instead, while users on both sides report occasional reach issues amid algorithm changes.
This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.
Several people saying their posts have disappeared, others saying people who they have banned are now in their thread. etc etc.
